Heavy Hacking Attempts

[LeeM19TR]

Hello all,

Getting really heavy pounding on connections attempts, bascically brute force, 10,000+ in 3 hours, must be a bot/programme. Anything that can be changed, ie router identity for example? 

BT Hub 6A

Thanks.

You can try getting a different IP address, disconnect your hub from line for 10-15 minutes.

Thanks for the tip, I pulled the BT line from the router overnight, but just started up again when I reconnected this morning.

Nothing else you can do unfortunately.

Thanks, guess I'll just hunker down!

Unless you need it, turn off UPnP to be on the safe side.

Thanks, assume UPnP needed for Playstation, Smart TV (Netflix etc)?
