I came in to work early this morning, happy and with a spring in my step .
The Firewall settings on my router had been trashed, at the same time taking
one of my iServer Ethernet lines down. Very suspiciously, only the 'Deny
service' to IP-addresses at Chinese ISPs had been deleted.
My router has been bombarded by 'attacks' from Chinese IP-addresses for a
year now. (I look them up at
http://en.utrace.de/ip-addresses/)
This happened at 03:30 this morning, and then again at 14:30 this afternoon;
I was in the office the second time and actually watched as the firewall
entries disappeared. I changed the router login password as soon as I
suspected the problem might be there; though I am rather guessing a
back-door could be involved.
Now I've got no 'sensitive' data on my systems, client contact details is
about as bad as it gets, but I don't want them to have free access, a matter
of principle.
Well I've re-entered the firewall entries twice today, oh, and they managed
to erase my backup too, and I'm pretty peed off I can tell you.
Does anyone know how I can keep the intruders out. I discussed this with my
ISP and the router supplier (router made in China of course) and I might as
well have been talking to them in Chinese!
