Information from Syspeace shows automated hacking attempts per server have climbed up by 52 percent. In the world, that’s the third greatest rise of automated hacking attempts on Windows servers. However, there was a slight drop of 3.4 percent in the whole world.

Mexico is under increasing attacks, but at the same time the attacks on Windows servers secured by Syspeace have decreased all around the world. There have been 3.4 percent less automated hacking attempts in the world on Windows servers secured by Syspeace in the two weeks prior compared to the previous 14-day period. Up until today, this year there have been 1,400 brute-force attacks per Syspeace-secured server in the world. In the same period last year, the amount of automated hacking attempts has risen by 7.1 percent.
