I saw someone mention they had 100 attempts?

Actually what was occurring was a passive scan by some unscrupulous individual looking for subport and other backdoor programs. Most of the time they only scan cable/dsl ips and are harmless unless you have the above mentioned programs on your computer.

Reality is that most hackers just use "others" programs to exploit something your virus/ad scanner didnt pick up. People who could actually hack you from the desktop would not generally be interested in hacking private boxes.
