PC Multiple hack attempts reported

[morggin]

I have had multiple hack attempts against the telnet session on my server. I have been adding the entire ISP subnet to my DROP packet policy in my IP Tables firewall. I have also been reporting the attempt by doing an ARIN IP LOOKUP and sending an email with text log to the abuse point of contact.

See my BLACKLIST on my website if you are also interested in dropping the subnets yourself. http://atrumorbis.net/7-days-to-die/

Why are you leaving the server's telnet port open to the outside world at all?
