when I set up pc anywhere last year, the Symantec knowledgebase warned to
either "change the ports or use a alpha-numeric password", because the
situation you listed is quite common, think about a spamer, hacker goldmine,
just about untraceable.

Subject: scans for pc anywhere anyone?

from mon thru wed last week (mar 26-28) someone
in nz adsl space (ie 210.55.x.x) repeatedly probed
port 5362 (pc anywhere) on my external adsl link.

they didn't get anywhere coz the firewall wasn't
interested, but the ids fired off on it.

anyone else see any evidence of someone apparently
trying to find some pc anywhere equipped system
(read vulnerable) in nz adsl space? if this person
is successful of course they can have a field day
with the target!

i don't intend to hassle telecom with it, but am
interested in corroboration.

cheers,
