Malicious access attempt from Seychelles

Hi All,
I would like to report that Xfinity just notified me of an attempt to access my 6700 from the Seychelles (IP: 80.82.77.231). I just want to make this public in case others have experienced the same issue or we need to do something about it.

Are you able to post the exact message you received from your ISP please. It would be interesting to see.
There are a scary amount ‘port scanner’ applications running on the internet. If I was to post the log from my firewall, it would very very long.
Essentially what they are saying is someone was on your property running around and banging on all the doors and windows. I am actually surprised they reported it other to show you they are actually doing something so they can brag value add as your ISP.

You may want to review this thread and check your setting. You may also want to change your SmartLink password.

It's probably just a bot scanning the Internet looking where nefarious things can be done to support things like distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. For shiggles, I traced the IP address back to a Dutch owner, but the 'SC' at the end might mean this address is in use by this provider in Seychelles -

I hate to admit but what is a "BOT" about two weeks ago now I got an email from by service provider I had a bot associated with my IP address and this was the first time I had every heard this term. As far as I understood it, it had nothing to do with Flex

It doesn't relate to Flex. Some malicious code appears to be associated with/coming from the IP address associated with your internet commection.
