Commendable effort!  However, despite this:

This was still effected:

The more open the system gets,  the more vulnerable it becomes to alien influences

 …….Good morning Ladies
 and Gentlemen, The CERT maintains a
 research honeypot which is run to gather information about
 the motives and tactics of  hacker  communities targeting
 different networks. The primary objective of the honeypot is
 to provide cyber security situational intelligence and also
 to research the threats that operators face and to learn how
 to better protect against those threats.
 From the gathered
 information we note that at one any time we are under attack
 either directly or indirectly.  Over the last 24
 hours we see persistent  attacks from the following
 sources (countries). This information confirms the fact that
 cyber-attacks are real happenings and are a global
 problem.  Country
 Count1China1,7282Brazil7853Ukraine7344United
 States7275Russia6746France6557Czechia6358Argentina4689Iraq37810Mexico295 We note the attacks
 are geared towards the following ports, with traffic
 mismatch. For example we note SIP traffic being routed to
 port 80, yet SIP traffic uses port 5060 and 5061 for
 communications. dest_portcount224262231481801325506012015358145338912223237780807285456544357  Similarly, we note the following usernames
 /passwords  are the most commonly used for attempted
 account hijacking; Top Usernames

 Passwords1Adminsupport2Supportadmin3Userpassword4Administrator12345DefaultDefault
  We
 strongly encourage you to avoid using the above usernames or
 passwords as they are the most commonly used for account
 hijacking. Most computing devices use the above usernames by
 default, it is recommended you change the usernames to those
 that are not easily guessed or used.
