Who is scanning my ports and what is MAC address spoofing?
Your ports are being scanned by an attacker who sends requests on different ports and takes note of which of them respond in a certain way. This is how an attacker knows what attacks will work on which of your systems. The MAC address is a unique code assigned to your network adapter or other networking hardware. Spoofing is an attempt to gain access to a system by posing as an authorized user – in this case, as your computer, which features one ore more MAC addresses (depending on how many network cards you have). BullGuard’s Firewall protects you from such intrusions, as well as many other types of attacks, by detecting them an providing the option to ban the attacker permanently. To learn more about how your Firewall works, please contact BullGuard Support by email or live support.
