correct, Mike )

The destination port was 80. The Host: 200.189.123.184

COSED [CSG-GOP-009] SCAN Sqlmap SQL Injection Scan = The Alert  that
started the alleged hack attempt


 I have had similar incidents in the past and all I did was block the port
that was used and never had any more issues of the type that was reported.

This particular issue is the 1st for me. Time will tell if it did work or
not. At this point, I am still running a Exit relay.
