wrong. non standard port helps quite well against automated scans.
most targets nowadays are searched via automated scans. if you are
painted red, you get attention. this is first step - stay gray. but if
you are already set up as a target, this would not help you. this
helps you NOT getting up as target for someone, who just searching
some servers for fun - scriptkiddies.
