Title: I keep getting warnings of blocked SMB:BruteForce connections from unknown IP's
Post by: v1rtual on March 23, 2021, 05:52:04 PM

It started about 2 weeks ago and it's at almost 4000 connections blocked.

Is there something i can do about this or should i just ignore it?

I have remote desktop turned off in windows.

All I can find are threads of people who get false positives from their local IP, but that's different. It looks like I am getting warnings of actual attacks, but my question is what i should do about it.
