The sum total of automated hacking attempts on Windows servers in Argentina escalated through the 14 days prior. According to information from Syspeace-secured Windows Servers, there was a growth of 140 percent in automated hacking attempts per server. However, there was a slight contraction of 17 percent in the whole world.

The sum total of attacks on Syspeace-secured Windows Servers shot up during the two weeks prior in Argentina as 190 automated hacking attempts per Windows servers were registered by Syspeace. That means the brute-force attacks escalated by 140 percent. The number of brute-force attacks blocked by Syspeace in Argentina was 710.

With similar changes, there has been a growth of the sum total of brute-force attacks in Italy and Finland. With 2,300 blocked automated hacking attempts per Syspeace-secured server the previous 14-day period, Italy has witnessed a surge of 270 percent compared to the last fortnight. In Finland, the sum total has increased by 110 percent to 50 brute-force attacks per Syspeace-secured server.

Argentina is under increasing attacks, but at the same time the attacks on Syspeace-secured Windows Servers have decreased all around the world. There have been 17 percent less automated hacking attempts in the world on Windows servers secured by Syspeace during the previous 14-day period compared to the past two weeks. Up until now, this year there have been 1,500 brute-force attacks per Windows server secured by Syspeace in the world. The brute-force attacks have gone up by 8.7 percent on a year-to-year comparison. Simply put, the amount of brute-force attacks blocked by Syspeace in the world was 1,300,000.

The information is collected by 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 detect and prevent. Syspeace scans all the global Syspeace-secured Windows Servers thoroughly. The company is a global innovator on the topic since 2012, having collected and analyzed information on brute-force attacks.

During the automated hacking attempt, an attacker submits many passwords or passphrases, hoping to finally get them right. Each and every possible password and passphrase is systematically inspected to find the correct one.
