Hello,
This morning i noticed allot of cphulk emails about brute force attempts on my FTP server no biggie cpHulk did it's job and blocked them all but i'm trying to understand the reasons behind such attacks.I mean suppose the attacker (which where different ip's in a /24 by the way) get's lucky and get's inside what is there to gain it's only an FTP account do they want to host porn or something ??
not trying to minimize the riscs i just fail to understand why anybody would waste there time trying to "guess" a password i wish i understand that better.
