BOPM and Globalz are bots; not persons. BOPM and Globalz are scanning your system for open ports and proxy servers. These scans by these bots are not part of an attack, they’re in fact an important security check. If BOPM or Globalz states you have an open port, open proxy, or an otherwise insecure computer you will need to install a firewall on your computer or reconfigure your proxy.
