Connecticut Witnesses 3.1 Percent Increase in Brute-Force Attacks

In the course of the last fortnight, Connecticut has witnessed how the sum total of brute-force attacks has increased. The automated hacking attempts have shot up by 3.1 percent in the last fortnight, according to data from Windows servers secured by Syspeace. There was an escalation of 54 percent in the whole USA.

The number of attacks on Windows servers secured by Syspeace grew in the course of the two weeks prior in Connecticut as 1,900 brute-force attacks per Windows servers were documented by Syspeace. That means the brute-force attacks went up slightly by 3.1 percent. That means 13,000 total the amount of automated hacking attempts in the Connecticut through the previous 14 days were blocked by Syspeace.

In comparison, Virginia and Iowa have been under increased attacks. With 730 blocked automated hacking attempts per Syspeace-secured server the past two weeks, Virginia has seen an increase of 5.7 percent compared to the previous 14 days. In Iowa, the sum total has climbed up by 2.9 percent to 1,100 brute-force attacks per Windows server secured by Syspeace.

Connecticut is not alone. The attacks on Windows servers secured by Syspeace have shown a noticeable growth all around the USA. There have been 54 percent more automated hacking attempts in the USA on syspeaces in the in the course of the two weeks prior compared to the last fortnight. Up until today, this year there have been 2,300 brute-force attacks per Syspeace-secured Windows Server in the USA. The automated hacking attempts have shot up by 51 percent on a year-to-year comparison. That means the amount of automated hacking attempts in the USA that were blocked by Syspeace was 1,200,000.

The evidence is released from Syspeace, a company that helps fight automated hacking attempts. Syspeace saves companies time, effort, and money by blocking attacks that otherwise take many hours of repetitive, manual labor to find and prevent. Syspeace records all the global Windows servers secured by Syspeace conscientiously. The company is a global trendsetter on the topic since 2012, having collected and analyzed information on automated hacking attempts.

An brute-force attack consists of an attacker submitting many passwords or passphrases with the hope of ultimately guessing them. The attacker systematically checks all possible passwords and passphrases and tries to find the correct one.

To keep trouble out and block automated hacking attempts, Syspeace offers software that protects enterprises from IT theft, combined with excellent customer support.
