The ABC Homeopathy Forum

Yesterday I got record below attack on my p.c

12:19:18 AM Port scan 67.19.8.43 TCP (1370, 1373, 1376, 1377, 1372, 1371)
12:19:18 AM Rst attack 67.19.8.43 -> 67.19.8.43
I have almost a full proof system and my p.c blocked host(which was abc incidently!!!)for the timebeing.My question is why this happened?Mods I request a reply on how host tried to do a scan on my p.c!Just for my knowledge.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
I think some people have started scanning people for aliases.

possible only if attacker has my IP address which is NOT visible in my posts hence I wonder how this attack triggered.Can moderator reply to this query of mine?

I have given you the possible reason. I guess this thing is being done without moderator's knowledge.

Hello,

I know nothing whatsoever about this. 67.19.8.43 is our IP address, but I'm sure that attack did not orignate here. I'm pretty confident that our system has not been compromised - it's behind a firewall, and even I have very limited access to install anything on the server. I don't know much about this sort of thing, but it's possible the IP is spoofed? Were there any other IPs involved?

Has anybody else expereinced anything similar?

I have opened a support ticked with hosting tech about this.

What time zone are you in, so I can get tech to look at the logs at the time of the attack? And I presume you're talking about today?

I am glad to observe that this matter is being investigated thoroughtly as other computers may also suffer from the same intrusion.

Hosting tech confirmed that there are no malicious programs and/or data on our server - it appears that our Ip was spoofed and as they say 'there may not be any logical reason why.'

So, to sum up, all we know is that it wasn't us, but someone pretending to be us.

The point is how can you stop it ?

Any possibility of getting a new IP address ?
