Nevada Aghast by Third Greatest Increase in Automated Hacking Attempts in the USA

In Nevada, the amount of automated hacking attempts on Windows servers built up through the two weeks prior in comparison with the previous 14-day period. According to data from Windows servers secured by Syspeace, there was an increase of 69 percent in brute-force attacks per server. In the USA, that’s the third greatest rise of automated hacking attempts on Windows servers. In contrast, there was a big drop of 23 percent in the whole USA.

In Nevada, the amount of attacks on Windows servers secured by Syspeace increased noticeably throughout the previous 14-day period as 150 automated hacking attempts per Windows servers were registered by Syspeace. That means the brute-force attacks increased noticeably by 69 percent. The sum total of brute-force attacks blocked by Syspeace in Nevada was 280. In the state’s measured history, this is the highest number of attempted automated hacking attempts per Syspeace-secured server for a single 14-day period.

There has been, in comparison, an increase of the number of automated hacking attempts in Nebraska and Rhode Island. With 59 blocked brute-force attacks per Syspeace-secured Windows Server the 14 days prior, Nebraska has seen a rise of 110 percent in comparison with the previous 14-day period. In Rhode Island, the number has increased by 37 percent to 250 brute-force attacks per Windows server secured by Syspeace.

Nevada is under increasing attacks, but at the same time the attacks on Windows servers secured by Syspeace have decreased all around the USA. There have been 23 percent less brute-force attacks in the USA on Syspeace-secured Windows Servers in the course of the last fortnight compared to the past two weeks. Up until today, this year there have been 1,700 brute-force attacks per Windows server secured by Syspeace in the USA. Compared to the same period last year, the amount of automated hacking attempts has declined by 19 percent. In other words, Syspeace blocked 810,000 brute-force attacks in the USA.

The statistics is collected by Syspeace, a company that helps fight brute-force attacks. Syspeace saves businesses time, effort, and money by blocking attacks that otherwise take many hours of repetitive, manual labor to track down and prevent. Syspeace monitors all the global Syspeace-secured Windows Servers carefully. The company is a global trailblazer on the topic since 2012, having collected and analyzed evidence on automated hacking attempts.

An brute-force attack consists of an attacker submitting many passwords or passphrases with the hope of eventually guessing them. The attacker systematically inspects all possible passwords and passphrases and tries to find the correct one.

To keep systems secure and block automated hacking attempts, Syspeace provides software that safeguards enterprises from IT theft, combined with excellent customer support.
