In Nebraska, the number of attacks on Windows servers secured by Syspeace increased slightly during the 14 days prior as 160 automated hacking attempts per Windows servers were logged by Syspeace. That means the automated hacking attempts grew by 20 percent. That means 340 total the number of automated hacking attempts in the Nebraska during the previous 14-day period were blocked by Syspeace. During a single 14-day period in the state’s measured history, this is the 6th highest number of automated hacking attempts per Syspeace-secured server.

South Carolina and Indiana have – by means of a comparison – been under increased attacks. With 200 blocked automated hacking attempts per Syspeace-secured server the two weeks prior, South Carolina has recorded a climb of 23 percent compared to the 14 days prior. In Indiana, the sum total has risen by 19 percent to 450 automated hacking attempts per Windows server secured by Syspeace.

Up until today, this year there have been 2,000 brute-force attacks per Syspeace-secured server in the USA. The brute-force attacks have dropped by 11 percent on a year-to-year comparison. Simply put, Syspeace blocked 1,000,000 automated hacking attempts in the USA.

The statistics is collected by 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 statistics on brute-force attacks since 2012, Syspeace is a global pioneer on the topic. The company believes that cyber security management doesn’t have to be complicated and expensive.

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 correct one.

To avoid problems and block brute-force attacks, Syspeace offers software that shields enterprises from IT theft, combined with exceptional customer support.
