That's a completely trivial level of traffic at scale. I can almost guarantee this wouldn't even flag an alert, much less be investigated by legal.


If you read these comments organizations are threatening legal action and reports to law enforcement.

They're also not apple :) These companies are probably just getting alerts from their intrusion detection system telling them someone's port scanning them.

I'll amend my earlier comment a bit. Apple as a corporation doesn't care, neither I imagine would Apple's corporate IT security as an entity, but individual people in Apple might decide port scanning is the bain of their existence and send something, but that's a fluke.


Seems like a very tiny list, given the nature of the tool (none of which I had really heard of)
