    Should a port scan by a bad actor be considered multiple hacking attempts or a single hacking attempt?

    Another way to think about it: if a burglar tries various windows and doors to find an unsecured opening, is that considered multiple burglary attempts or a single burglary attempt?

      I wouldn’t even consider a port scan a hack.

      It’s just like a thief looking at your home to see if there are any windows or doors open.

        I wouldn’t consider a port scan a hacking attempt either but I think it would be more like trying to open the front door or attempting to open a window to see if it’s locked. But if people are trying to do that to my house I wouldn’t be real happy. Of course if you’re a business and someone tries to open the door before you’re open is that really a problem? I know I’ve done that before.
