Hi Jorge, My recommendation, other than make sure your public IP systems are properly hardened, is to do nothing. Continuous scans and brute force login attempts are the norm on the Internet. For every ISP that pays attention to your complaints, 10 will ignore you. - Sergio -----Mensaje original----- De: listbounce () securityfocus com [mailto:listbounce () securityfocus com] En nombre de Jorge L.

Although the good thing is that the firewall is detecting them therefore stopping them, I'm getting worried of hacker activity, I've already done ip lookup, and dns whois query both of those point to ip and host in Canada it seems to be a company as I got their public website and also private network.....could anyone advice me what's the proper course of actions in this case?.... thanks Jorge L.
