As soon as you have a system connected to the internet directly, it'll
be scanned for many vulnerabilities. Many of those scans are automated
and mostly harmless (like eg. Shodan's). Some are bots, trying to take
over your system. If you eg. have a web server listening on port 80,
you'd see accesses to all kinds of URLs you don't have. All likely
related to some vulnerability somebody tries to exploit. Don't open any
port to the internet, unless you know what you're doing. Even with a
password set I wouldn't expose my LMS.
