If someone could see the dataflow on the path to the destination, then they could theoretically use rsync (spoofing the IP address). Though I think it is more likely that rsync terminated on the IIC Internet server.
I was able to change the admin password early in the morning remotely, and now checking for the NV+ logging into the network via VPN (only 1 of 2 certified users to the network) - not able to access the unit.
No pingbacks received from the IP either.
Also, if I ping/tracert this IP, it comes back to: server.iicinternet.com [64.64.131.102], with a last hop in Dallas: GLOBAL-INTE.edge9.Dallas1.Level3.net [4.30.68.182]
No idea if the hacker just shut down the unit now that I attempted to thwart his stealing our info.
Will post once I get into the office.
(I also tried calling the contact number for iicinternet, was kept on hold for a *long* time, using both their normal and 800 numbers - no response. Shell company of some sort??)
