Who’s Trying to own my Mac

Filed under: TMUP-Blog — Victor Cajiao @ 2:30 pm

Well if you listened to the last Typical Mac User podcast with Paul and Larry from Paul Dot Com Security Weekly, you heard that our Macs are not exempt from attack. Using a great tool called Check Failed Password Attempts I found 652 examples of people trying to get into my home iMac under the root account alone (see pic below).

I do use defense in depth concepts in securing my assets, do you? Dowload Check Failed Password Attempts and find out who’s trying to own your mac?
