Heck of an assumption to make!  |
Tell you what - you show me evidence that a single server anywhere has been hacked into via pop3 on port 110 and I'll believe you.
Russ - in a dos box type "netstat -an" - you will get something like below;
Proto Local Address Foreign Address State
TCP 0.0.0.0:135 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
TCP 0.0.0.0:445 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
TCP 0.0.0.0:1025 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
TCP 0.0.0.0:2401 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
TCP 0.0.0.0:3709 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
TCP 0.0.0.0:3765 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
TCP 10.27.2.5:139 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
TCP 10.27.2.5:1663 207.46.106.173:1863 ESTABLISHED
TCP 10.27.2.5:2701 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
TCP 10.27.2.5:13446 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
TCP 127.0.0.1:110 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
TCP 127.0.0.1:9090 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
Look for the LISTENING entry for Port 110 and tell us if the IP address is 127.0.0.1 (as above).
