11 days agoA port is not secure or insecure. The thing that can lead to security risks is the service that answers that port.
Use strong authentication and encryption on those services and keep them up to date.
Also, if the data were encrypted, the encryption key would have been on the Computer anyway, but yes it could have been better protected.
