Security,

I can't express this enough. Use the strongest PW (using all printable chr, 12+chr long) at all times on all accounts exposed to the www. I had them testing with different common names to gain access too.

I have a list of about 6 web hosting sites/countries that were trying to hack in to my 4500 FTP server when exposed. I just added their complete subnets to be blocked. Once I did that all hacking went away. You can also raise the time between failure to a large time to deter constant hacking. Also it's advised that you use a non std port for access. This will hide it from most all sniffers. I would also suggest that you use strong passwords on all out access. Set min req on passwords to make them all strong. If it's for your access only setup and use a VPN Endpont router, this will give you full access to your network, with all traffic encrypted.
