Second Greatest Increase of Brute-Force Attacks in the world in Italy
Brute-force attacks on Windows servers in Italy have increased significantly in the course of the two weeks prior. The automated hacking attempts have shot up by 300 percent throughout the two weeks prior, according to data from Syspeace-secured Windows Servers. In the world, that’s the second largest rise of brute-force attacks on Windows servers. In contrast, there was a slight fall of 11 percent in the whole world.
The amount of attacks on Syspeace-secured Windows Servers shot up through the 14 days prior in Italy as 2,400 automated hacking attempts per Windows servers were logged by Syspeace. Simply put, the automated hacking attempts skyrocketed by 300 percent. That means 6,500 total the number of brute-force attacks in the Italy during the last fortnight were blocked by Syspeace. It is the 4th highest number of automated hacking attempts per Syspeace-secured server for a single 14-day period in the country’s measured history of hackers trying to gain access to servers.
By means of a comparison, there has been a climb of the sum total of automated hacking attempts in Honduras and Switzerland. With 690 blocked brute-force attacks per Syspeace-secured server the previous 14 days, Honduras has seen a surge of 2,000 percent compared to the two weeks prior. In Switzerland, the number has grown by 130 percent to 410 brute-force attacks per Windows server secured by Syspeace.
The attacks on Windows servers secured by Syspeace have shown a slight decrease all around the world. Simply put, Italy is going against the flow. In the last weeks, there have been 11 percent less brute-force attacks than in the previous 14-day period in the world. By now, this year there have been 1,700 automated hacking attempts per Syspeace-secured Windows Server in the world. Compared to the same period last year, the amount of automated hacking attempts has shot up by 5.5 percent. In other words, Syspeace blocked 1,600,000 automated hacking attempts in the world.
The statistics is released from Syspeace, a service provider that fights automated hacking attempts. Syspeace wants to make the digital world safer for firms, one server at a time. Having collected and analyzed information on brute-force attacks since 2012, Syspeace is a global trendsetter on the topic. The company believes that cyber security management doesn’t have to be complicated and expensive.
During the brute-force attack, an attacker submits many passwords or passphrases, hoping to eventually get them right. Each and every possible password and passphrase is systematically inspected to find the right one.
To keep systems secure and block automated hacking attempts, Syspeace provides software that shields businesses from IT theft, combined with excellent customer support.
