JPMorgan Chase fights off 45 billion hacking attempts each day::JPMorgan Chase says it has seen a sizable increase in attempts by hackers each day to infiltrate its systems over the last year, highlighting the escalating cybersecurity challenges the bank and other Wall Street titans are facing.
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.
