Re: Place your bets - Closed vs Stealthed
... I voted 'not significantly' ... unless someone is specifically hunting your IP I just don't think they'll waste a lot of time on either type target when there's so much 'low-hanging fruit' available elsewhere ...

| This type of "research" is immensely valuable for those of us who lack the technical skill to problem-solve security matters like this. And I am very grateful to Blake (Link Logger). Thanks you very much for your continued contributions and assistance on these kind of issues.

Get a decent firewall and don't open it inwardly for servers unlerss you really have to.
Theres not a lot else to know.... add a virus and spyware scanner and you'll never get a virus or get hacked.
It's not rocket science.
