Big Growth in Automated Hacking Attempts in Romania

There’s no denying of facts — the amount of automated hacking attempts in Romania has went up throughout the last fortnight. Evidence from Syspeace shows automated hacking attempts per server have risen by 50 percent. However, there was no change in the number of automated hacking attempts in the whole world.

The amount of attacks on Syspeace-secured Windows Servers built up in the previous 14-day period in Romania as 1,200 automated hacking attempts per Windows servers were logged by Syspeace. That is to say, the automated hacking attempts built up by 50 percent. That means 4,600 total the amount of automated hacking attempts in the Romania in the past two weeks were blocked by Syspeace.

Sweden and Italy have – by way of comparison – been under increased attacks. With 980 blocked brute-force attacks per Syspeace-secured Windows Server the 14 days prior, Sweden has witnessed a growth of 56 percent in comparison with the previous 14-day period. In Italy, the number has risen by 46 percent to 4,800 automated hacking attempts per Windows server secured by Syspeace.

So far, this year there have been 1,800 brute-force attacks per Syspeace-secured Windows Server in the world. The brute-force attacks have diminished by 9.4 percent on a year-to-year comparison. That means the sum total of automated hacking attempts in the world that were blocked by Syspeace was 1,600,000.

The evidence comes from Syspeace, a service provider that fights automated hacking attempts. Syspeace wants to make the digital world safer for businesses, one server at a time. Having collected and analyzed information on automated hacking attempts since 2012, Syspeace is a global innovator on the topic. The company believes that cyber security management doesn’t have to be complicated and expensive.

An automated hacking attempt consists of an attacker submitting many passwords or passphrases with the hope of in the end guessing them. The attacker systematically checks all possible passwords and passphrases and tries to find the correct one.

To keep trouble out and block brute-force attacks, Syspeace offers software that protects enterprises from IT theft, combined with outstanding customer support.
