    I'm not sure if anyone else has seen a lot of web traffic
    all hitting the same echos/networks from many ip addresses?
    I also have a lot of login attempts using the same un/pw
    combo from ips worldwide but that's another issue.
    1: I allow open read only and always will
    2: I allow open read only but may change based on this info
    3: I will definitely close read only access now
    4: No. I don't allow read only access anyway
