In Kentucky, the number has climbed up by 240 percent to 880 brute-force attacks per Syspeace-secured Windows Server.

Maryland is not alone. The attacks on Windows servers secured by Syspeace have shown a noticeable growth all around the USA. The automated hacking attempts on Windows servers secured by Syspeace have grown by 54 percent in the USA in the previous 14 days. So far, this year there have been 2,000 brute-force attacks per Windows server secured by Syspeace in the USA. The brute-force attacks have grown by 15 percent on a year-to-year comparison.

The evidence is released from 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 detect and prevent. Syspeace records all the global Windows servers secured by Syspeace meticulously. The company is a global innovator on the topic since 2012, having collected and analyzed information on brute-force attacks.

During the automated hacking attempt, 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 avoid trouble and block brute-force attacks, Syspeace offers software that shields firms from IT theft, combined with outstanding customer support.
