Romania Aghast by Third Largest Rise in Automated Hacking Attempts in the world

The report doesn’t lie — the sum total of brute-force attacks in Romania has shot up in the course of the two weeks prior. Data from Syspeace shows automated hacking attempts per server have climbed up by 120 percent. That’s the third biggest increase of brute-force attacks on Windows servers in the world. In contrast, there was a slight fall of 19 percent in the whole world.

Syspeace documented 1,500 brute-force attacks per Windows servers in Romania during the 14 days prior. In other words, the automated hacking attempts escalated by 120 percent. The number of brute-force attacks blocked by Syspeace in Romania was 5,800.

There has been, by means of a comparison, an increase of the amount of automated hacking attempts in Georgia and United Arab Emirates. With 300 blocked automated hacking attempts per Syspeace-secured Windows Server the past two weeks, Georgia has seen an increase of 230 percent compared to the last fortnight. In United Arab Emirates, the sum total has shot up by 86 percent to 65 automated hacking attempts per Windows server secured by Syspeace.

Romania is under increasing attacks, but at the same time the attacks on Windows servers secured by Syspeace have decreased all around the world. There have been 19 percent less brute-force attacks in the world on Windows servers secured by Syspeace during the past two weeks compared to the past two weeks. Up until today, this year there have been 1,400 brute-force attacks per Syspeace-secured Windows Server in the world. The brute-force attacks have climbed up by 14 percent on a year-to-year comparison. That is to say, Syspeace blocked 1,200,000 automated hacking attempts in the world.
