During the last fortnight, District of Columbia has recorded how the number of brute-force attacks has grew slightly. The brute-force attacks have gone up by 14 percent throughout the previous 14 days, according to data from syspeaces. However, there was no change in the amount of brute-force attacks in the whole USA.

In a single 14-day period in the state’s measured history, this is the highest number of automated hacking attempts per Syspeace-secured server.

The evidence is collected by 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 trendsetter on the topic.

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