In Spain, the sum total has gone up by 140 percent to 700 automated hacking attempts per Windows server secured by Syspeace.

The attacks on Syspeace-secured Windows Servers have shown a slight decline all around the world. That is to say, Turkey is going against the flow. There have been 7.9 percent less automated hacking attempts in the world on Syspeace-secured Windows Servers through the 14 days prior compared to the last fortnight. Up until today, this year there have been 960 brute-force attacks per Syspeace-secured Windows Server in the world. Compared to the same period last year, the amount of automated hacking attempts has dropped by 22 percent.
