    How do hackers use a public port to gain access to my server

    Also, you may want to go over your API depending on how it interacts with the site. How it was coded and what functions it utilizes it may be worth taking a look at it again. If its an old version of python or whatever and it has known issues, upgrading to a later version might be in the cards...

    How do hackers use a public port to gain access to my server

    Sounds like you are with Rackspace but that is just a wild guess. Most hosted solutions will lock down everything except what is needed portwise and will have some form of intrusion prevention/detection. Essentially, you will want to make sure your IIS server is up to date and patched as much...

    How do hackers use a public port to gain access to my server

    First questions I would have to give you a general risk assessment: 1) Where is this server located? Cloud or on prem 2) What protections do you have in front of the server? 3) What protections do you have on the server? Articles pertinent to the situation...

    ASUS ZEN AiO Z272 27" LCD Display Went Dark

    Just to elaborate on what is mentioned above, usually if you take a flashlight and shine it up at the screen at an angle you will be able to see whatever is being displayed if it is just the inverter that went out. It will be dark and hard to see but visible. If you dont see anything, then it...

    Paper jam on HP 4050N

    I would blow out with compressed air to make sure there isnt a small piece blocking a sensor that you may have missed. When powered on, does it run through the normal movements or is there no mechanical movement and it immediately throws the error?

    Laptop screen suddenly has a myriad of horizontal black lines

    Windows 10 Pro - cannot use the start button
