Third Greatest Rise of Brute-Force Attacks in the world in Uruguay

The number of brute-force attacks on Windows servers in Uruguay went up through the previous 14-day period. The automated hacking attempts have risen by 36 percent in the course of the two weeks prior, according to information from Windows servers secured by Syspeace. That’s the third biggest increase of brute-force attacks on Windows servers in the world. At the same time, there was a big drop of 30 percent in the whole world.

In Uruguay, the sum total of attacks on Syspeace-secured Windows Servers built up through the previous 14-day period as 22 brute-force attacks per Windows servers were registered by Syspeace. That is to say, the brute-force attacks increased noticeably by 36 percent. The sum total of brute-force attacks blocked by Syspeace in Uruguay was 95.

In comparison, there has been an escalation of the sum total of brute-force attacks in Netherlands and Hungary. With 140 blocked automated hacking attempts per Syspeace-secured server the previous 14-day period, Netherlands has witnessed an increase of 68 percent compared to the past two weeks. In Hungary, the number has shot up by 34 percent to 550 brute-force attacks per Windows server secured by Syspeace.

The attacks on Syspeace-secured Windows Servers have shown a big drop all around the world. That is to say, Uruguay is going against the flow. There have been 30 percent less automated hacking attempts in the world on Syspeace-secured Windows Servers in the course of the 14 days prior compared to the previous 14 days. Up until today, this year there have been 740 automated hacking attempts per Syspeace-secured server in the world. The automated hacking attempts have declined by 43 percent on a year-to-year comparison. In other words, the number of brute-force attacks blocked by Syspeace in the world was 520,000.

The evidence originates from Syspeace, a service provider that fights brute-force attacks. Syspeace wants to make the digital world safer for firms, one server at a time. Having collected and analyzed statistics on brute-force attacks since 2012, Syspeace is a global innovator on the topic. The company believes that cyber security management doesn’t have to be complicated and expensive.

During the brute-force attack, an attacker submits many different passwords and passphrases in the system, hoping to finally get them right. The attacker systematically checks all possible passwords and passphrases to find the correct one.

To keep systems secure and block brute-force attacks, Syspeace provides software that safeguards companies from IT theft, combined with outstanding customer support.
