I set up a new feature on my blog; it is for security and can alert me to failed logins. I am the only one who logs in.

Anyone who tries to login to it is trying to hack my blog.

I googled how hackers choose their victims and it has nothing to do with who we are or what we on online.

The article says this:

1) Scan for open ports
The hacker starts by running a port scan to probe a large range of IP addresses, and then he heads off to bed and lets the scan run all night.

The goal is to find particular open ports to exploit a known or potential vulnerability.
