    Ping = attempted hack

    Accessing random address = hack

    Port scanning = hack

    Every single email = hack

    Every connection they have = hack

    Seriously, how did they come up with that number?

      Each of my server got ssh login attempt at ~1 request / second. If you have 12 servers, that’s already 1 million “hacking attempt” per day.

        Using a different Port than 22 decreased these numbers significantly for me. Fail 2 ban is active nevertheless

          Do it yourself. Open an HTTP port, see what happens.

          Once an open interface is discovered, people will start probing it.

      Open a port, see how quickly you get thousands of attempts per hour.

      Now be JPM, with thousands of internet exposed interfaces.

      Though I think the number is exaggerated, but I’d need to see what they own.

        Should a port scan by a bad actor be considered multiple hacking attempts or a single hacking attempt?

        Another way to think about it: if a burglar tries various windows and doors to find an unsecured opening, is that considered multiple burglary attempts or a single burglary attempt?

          I wouldn’t even consider a port scan a hack.

          It’s just like a thief looking at your home to see if there are any windows or doors open.

            I wouldn’t consider a port scan a hacking attempt either but I think it would be more like trying to open the front door or attempting to open a window to see if it’s locked. But if people are trying to do that to my house I wouldn’t be real happy. Of course if you’re a business and someone tries to open the door before you’re open is that really a problem? I know I’ve done that before.

      Was going to say then I must be fighting off thousands a day with my router. Looked at the logs for fun one day and the amount of default port and credential attacks was insane.
