Georgia Sees a Significant Growth in Brute-Force Attacks

Through the two weeks prior, Georgia has witnessed how the number of automated hacking attempts has went up. The brute-force attacks have shot up by 27 percent in the two weeks prior, according to evidence from Syspeace-secured Windows Servers. There was a noticeable growth of 57 percent in the whole world.

In Georgia, the sum total of attacks on Syspeace-secured Windows Servers increased noticeably during the last fortnight as 770 automated hacking attempts per Windows servers were documented by Syspeace. Simply put, the automated hacking attempts went up by 27 percent. That means 770 total the number of automated hacking attempts in the Georgia in the course of the 14 days prior were blocked by Syspeace. In the course of a single 14-day period in the country’s measured history, this is the highest number of automated hacking attempts per Syspeace-secured server.

By means of a comparison, there has been a climb of the amount of automated hacking attempts in Ireland and Germany. With 530 blocked brute-force attacks per Syspeace-secured Windows Server the last fortnight, Ireland has seen a surge of 31 percent in comparison with the last fortnight. In Germany, the sum total has gone up by 23 percent to 1,900 brute-force attacks per Syspeace-secured Windows Server.

Georgia is not alone. The attacks on Syspeace-secured Windows Servers have shown a big increase all around the world. There have been 57 percent more automated hacking attempts in the world on Syspeace-secured Windows Servers in the during the last fortnight compared to the previous 14-day period. Up until today, this year there have been 2,300 brute-force attacks per Syspeace-secured server in the world. Compared to the same period last year, the amount of brute-force attacks has risen by 10 percent. That means the amount of brute-force attacks in the world that were blocked by Syspeace was 1,900,000.

The statistics comes from Syspeace, a service provider that fights brute-force attacks. Syspeace wants to make the digital world safer for enterprises, one server at a time. Having collected and analyzed data on automated hacking attempts since 2012, Syspeace is a global pioneer on the topic. The company believes that cyber security management doesn’t have to be complicated and expensive.

An automated hacking attempt 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 right one.

To keep problems out and block brute-force attacks, Syspeace offers software that protects firms from IT theft, combined with outstanding customer support.
