Hi,

I run my own linux dedicated server. I'm receiving complaints from other servers host saying they are getting scan by my server on port 23222. I do not host any users in my server. Is my server hacked? What is the cause of this? Please help,

Also, I'm receiving tons of e-mail daily when I retrieve from outlook with "unsafe attachments". I believe those are virus mails?

Run nmap on it to check for open ports. If you put your ip here I can run it for you.

Ok. How does a dedicated server port look like? What do they need, so I can close some ports? Also, How do I close them? :)

What do you type to get those outputs? I just installed nmap as well.

What does "filtered" / "open" mean?

Thank you for your time.
