I forgot to set "close to new users" option to "No" in Scfg. Plus I created Guest / Anonymous account as well. Somehow this user found my domain address and logged on:
it wasn't a "user" it was a script. it scans huge swaths of IP addreses, yours included, and when it finds something open on port 23, it tries to log in with known usernames/passwords for common IOT devices and routers. If it hits a target device (your BBS is not a target device), it will install itself on that device, which will in turn also start scanning huge swaths of IP addresses.
Every single one of us who operate a BBS have dozens and dozens of these connections per day.
We've explained this to you. Quit being so fucking dense.

180.x.x.x is Saigon.
180.0.0.0/8 is assigned to APNIC, who, in turn, assigns subnets to other organizations all through the Asia Pacific region. Maybe the specific IP that hit you is in Saigon, but there are 16.7 million IP addresses in that range that are spread all through the Asia Pacific region, from Japan, to China, to Austrailia.

... Good news. Ten weeks from Friday will be a pretty good day.
