I just launched Delphi 10 Seattle and received the following Windows Security Alert. Upon further investigation of the the Windows Firewall I noticed that the two public Embarcadero inbound rules were blocked but the two private rules were allowed.

I just blocked the two private Embarcadero inbound rules and Delphi 10 Seattle launched fine.
Given the recent hack of the Embarcadero site, I feel better having the two private Embarcadero inbound rules blocked. Are there any unintended consequences that could result from keeping the two private inbound rules blocked?
It must have been your first time to use that version of Delphi when connected to public network. That's all that particular message means. Your earlier uses must have been when connected to private networks.
ReplyDeleteOver the weekend, hackers attacked Embarcadero web site. The hack was confined to the Website CMS front end, which also serves the start page banner. The network was not accessed, and NO customer or internal data was exposed or compromised. The issue was identified and fixed.
