User talk:216.180.77.7

Please explain why this IP address is running an open service on port 8443. Please explain why this IP address has been trying to hack my account. --Yamla (talk) 12:22, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

No idea this is a residential IP address --216.180.77.7 (talk) 15:20, 24 February 2023 (UTC)


 * This is a residential IP address so how is it an open service and how do you hack an account i have no idea what is happening but this IP is a residential one. 216.180.77.7 (talk) 10:33, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

In order to be unblocked, you need to stop running the service on port 8443 and you need to explain why you were trying to break in to my account. If you are unable to do so, the block isn't going to be lifted. --Yamla (talk) 19:57, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

I have just scanned your IP address, and found no open ports. That may be because there was an open proxy running which has now been removed, or because there is an open proxy which is still there but not running right now, or for some other reason. It may be that your computer has been compromised, and is running an open proxy without your knowing about it. Unfortunately that happens very often. You should try running antivirus software on your computer to remove any such software. Perhaps Yamla would like to look at it again. JBW (talk) 22:18, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks, JBW. I'll check in a moment. --Yamla (talk) 22:19, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Port 8443 is still open. Make sure you are scanning with  to skip host discovery, if using nmap. I'm okay with you overriding my block. Reblocks are cheap. Still, I think it's a bad idea to lift the block. --Yamla (talk) 22:25, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I should add, this particular Vancouver/Burnaby person was attacking from a different IP today. They tend to go back and forth between a few, though, so this does not mean they've moved on, unfortunately. --Yamla (talk) 22:27, 10 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Thanks, Yamla. Yes, using -Pn I have confirmed that port 8443 is still open. I don't think there can be any question of unblocking as long as that is so. JBW (talk) 22:43, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

I am not running any service and I am not attacking you so what can I do?216.180.77.7 (talk) 23:16, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

 * I've also modified the block to include a checkuser block due to the attempted hacking evidence.-- Ponyo bons mots 23:46, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
 * This IP address again tried to break in to my account a few minutes ago on mediawiki.org, a sister project. --Yamla (talk) 12:38, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
 * ...and mine as well. Not the best method to get unblocked.-- Ponyo bons mots 21:39, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
