Question about Attack Warning
I received an "Attack" message from NETGEAR "Armor detected that a suspicious remote location 188.240.13.2 attempted a connection to Pixel-7-Pro and blocked that connection. We will keep an eye on t...
Just Armor letting you know that it's doing it's job.
Can do a Whois look up on that IP address to see where that is coming from if you like.
Otherwise, normal to get notices from Armor about items it blocks.
Looking for an opinion on an "Attack" message I received: "NETGEAR Armor detected that a suspicious remote location 188.240.13.2 attempted a connection to Pixel-7-Pro and blocked that connection. We will keep an eye on the this device for you. You're protected and don't need to do anything." I was concerned because it is an attack on a specific device and the message alerted 4 to 5 times and on different days.
Has anyone received this message or know if this is something to worry further about?
Thanks,
IP shows from this company:
inetnum: 188.240.13.0 - 188.240.13.255
netname: NL-DATAWEBGLOBALGROUP-20090623
country: NLhttps://datawebgroup.com
Do you think it is odd that it was tied to a specific device such as my phone?
No. Could be picked up on any or maybe some targeted attempt.
