Nighthawk RAX54 - Keep getting Attack Threats for same wired device with message as "body"

Model: RAX54v2 / Firmware: 1.1.4.28

 

I keep getting alerts on my home security camara. Its scary there's someone out there trying to connect. 

There are alerts that reads "external attempt to access protected files was blocked to prevent remote code execution".  I also get alerts on "suspicious remote location attempted a connection". When I use ip address lookup, they're located in Russia or China. The recent alerts have no message other than "body". I don't know what this attack threat means. Any idea? 

 

Any ideas how to prevent this?  Its great that Armor detects and blocks these attacks but its really concerning!  

 

Thanks in advance 😀

There is very little you can do besides secure your network. You can't stop evil people from trying to infiltrate/hack it.

Like @microchip8 says, not much you can do. that's why you have Armor. If we could stop people from being nefarious, the world would be a better place.
