However, there was a big decrease of 24 percent in the whole USA.

In Nevada, the sum total of attacks on Windows servers secured by Syspeace grew slightly in the course of the last fortnight as 160 brute-force attacks per Windows servers were logged by Syspeace. Simply put, the automated hacking attempts grew slightly by 3.1 percent. That means 260 total the number of automated hacking attempts in the Nevada in the last fortnight were blocked by Syspeace.

There has been, for comparison, a growth of the sum total of brute-force attacks in Missouri and Washington. With 180 blocked brute-force attacks per Syspeace-secured Windows Server the 14 days prior, Missouri has seen a climb of 3.9 percent compared to the past two weeks. In Washington, the number has risen by 3.1 percent to 3,200 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. Throughout the last weeks, there have been 24 percent less brute-force attacks than in the course of the 14 days prior in the USA. Up until now, this year there have been 1,300 brute-force attacks per Windows server secured by Syspeace in the USA. The automated hacking attempts have increased by 21 percent on a year-to-year comparison. That is to say, the number of automated hacking attempts blocked by Syspeace in the USA was 670,000.

The data is released from Syspeace, a company that helps fight brute-force attacks. Syspeace saves enterprises time, effort, and money by blocking attacks that otherwise take many hours of repetitive, manual labor to detect and prevent. Syspeace monitors all the global Windows servers secured by Syspeace carefully. The company is a global trendsetter on the topic since 2012, having collected and analyzed data on automated hacking attempts.

During the automated hacking attempt, an attacker submits many passwords or passphrases, hoping to finally get them right. Each and every possible password and passphrase is systematically checked to find the correct one.

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