39 Percent Increase in Automated Hacking Attempts in United Kingdom

In the course of the previous 14 days, the amount of brute-force attacks in United Kingdom increased noticeably compared to the past two weeks. According to evidence from Syspeace-secured Windows Servers, there was an escalation of 39 percent in brute-force attacks per server. At the same time, there was a slight decline of 17 percent in the whole world.

The amount of attacks on Syspeace-secured Windows Servers increased noticeably in the course of the previous 14 days in United Kingdom as 1,700 automated hacking attempts per Windows servers were recorded by Syspeace. In other words, the brute-force attacks built up by 39 percent. That means 90,000 total the sum total of automated hacking attempts in the United Kingdom in the previous 14-day period were blocked by Syspeace.

For the sake of comparison, Mexico and Norway have been under increased attacks. With 510 blocked brute-force attacks per Syspeace-secured Windows Server the two weeks prior, Mexico has seen a surge of 46 percent compared to the previous 14-day period. In Norway, the number has grown by 39 percent to 150 automated hacking attempts per Syspeace-secured Windows Server.

United Kingdom is under increasing attacks, but at the same time the attacks on Windows servers secured by Syspeace have decreased all around the world. Throughout the last weeks, there have been 17 percent less brute-force attacks than through the past two weeks in the world. By now, this year there have been 1,500 brute-force attacks per Windows server secured by Syspeace in the world. Compared to the same period last year, the sum total of automated hacking attempts has increased by 8.7 percent. That means the sum total of automated hacking attempts in the world that were blocked by Syspeace was 1,300,000.

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

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 trouble out and block automated hacking attempts, Syspeace offers software that shields firms from IT theft, combined with outstanding customer support.
