In Brazil, the number of brute-force attacks on Windows servers increased greatly throughout the previous 14 days compared to the 14 days prior. According to data from Windows servers secured by Syspeace, there was a surge of 20 percent in automated hacking attempts per server. However, there was a big drop of 25 percent in the whole world.

In Brazil, the number of attacks on Windows servers secured by Syspeace built up throughout the previous 14 days as 110 automated hacking attempts per Windows servers were registered by Syspeace. Simply put, the automated hacking attempts built up by 20 percent. That means 1,100 total the amount of brute-force attacks in the Brazil in the last fortnight were blocked by Syspeace.

There has been, for comparison purposes, a surge of the amount of automated hacking attempts in Uruguay and Argentina. With 16 blocked automated hacking attempts per Windows server secured by Syspeace the last fortnight, Uruguay has witnessed a climb of 23 percent in comparison with the previous 14-day period. In Argentina, the amount has climbed up by 19 percent to 190 brute-force attacks per Windows server secured by Syspeace.

All around the world, brute-force attacks on Windows servers secured by Syspeace have shown a big fall, but Brazil sees the opposite. There have been 25 percent less automated hacking attempts in the world on Windows servers secured by Syspeace throughout the previous 14-day period compared to the previous 14 days. By now, this year there have been 1,100 automated hacking attempts per Syspeace-secured server in the world. The brute-force attacks have risen by 43 percent on a year-to-year comparison. Simply put, Syspeace blocked 780,000 brute-force attacks in the world.

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 detect and prevent. Syspeace records all the global Syspeace-secured Windows Servers thoroughly. The company is a global trendsetter on the topic since 2012, having collected and analyzed data on automated hacking attempts.

An automated hacking attempt consists of an attacker submitting many passwords or passphrases with the hope of eventually guessing them. The attacker systematically checks all possible passwords and passphrases and tries to find the right one.

To avoid trouble and block brute-force attacks, Syspeace offers software that safeguards companies from IT theft, combined with exceptional customer support.
