The data is out — the sum total of automated hacking attempts in Alabama has increased through the two weeks prior. The automated hacking attempts have risen by 6.6 percent during the 14 days prior, according to information from syspeaces. However, there was a big drop of 31 percent in the whole USA.

Syspeace registered 5,500 automated hacking attempts per Windows servers in Alabama in the past two weeks. That means the automated hacking attempts increased by 6.6 percent. That means 33,000 total the amount of brute-force attacks in the Alabama throughout the previous 14 days were blocked by Syspeace.

With 480 blocked brute-force attacks per Syspeace-secured Windows Server the past two weeks, Tennessee has witnessed a rise of 10 percent in comparison with the last fortnight. In Massachusetts, the amount has grown by 1.9 percent to 370 automated hacking attempts per Syspeace-secured Windows Server.

The attacks on Windows servers secured by Syspeace have shown a big fall all around the USA. Simply put, Alabama is going against the flow. In the last weeks, there have been 31 percent less brute-force attacks than in the past two weeks in the USA. Up until today, this year there have been 1,300 brute-force attacks per Syspeace-secured Windows Server in the USA. Compared to the same period last year, the sum total of automated hacking attempts has climbed up by 72 percent. Simply put, Syspeace blocked 630,000 brute-force attacks in the USA.

The data is provided by Syspeace, a company that helps fight brute-force attacks. Syspeace saves firms time, effort, and money by blocking attacks that otherwise take many hours of repetitive, manual labor to discover and prevent. Syspeace scans all the global Syspeace-secured Windows Servers conscientiously. The company is a global innovator on the topic since 2012, having collected and analyzed information on automated hacking attempts.

During the automated hacking attempt, an attacker submits many passwords or passphrases, hoping to ultimately get them right. Each and every possible password and passphrase is systematically inspected to find the right one.

To avoid problems and block automated hacking attempts, Syspeace offers software that shields companies from IT theft, combined with exceptional customer support.
