The amount of brute-force attacks on Windows servers in Turkey skyrocketed in the past two weeks. Evidence from Syspeace shows brute-force attacks per server have gone up by 190 percent. In the world, that’s the third biggest rise of automated hacking attempts on Windows servers. However, there was a slight drop of 7.9 percent in the whole world.
In Turkey, the amount of attacks on Syspeace-secured Windows Servers skyrocketed through the 14 days prior as 740 automated hacking attempts per Windows servers were logged by Syspeace. In other words, the automated hacking attempts shot up by 190 percent. That means 1,600 total the amount of automated hacking attempts in the Turkey in the past two weeks were blocked by Syspeace.
There has been, for a comparison, an escalation of the number of brute-force attacks in Georgia and Spain.

In Spain, the sum total has gone up by 140 percent to 700 automated hacking attempts per Windows server secured by Syspeace.
The attacks on Syspeace-secured Windows Servers have shown a slight decline all around the world. That is to say, Turkey is going against the flow. There have been 7.9 percent less automated hacking attempts in the world on Syspeace-secured Windows Servers through the 14 days prior compared to the last fortnight. Up until today, this year there have been 960 brute-force attacks per Syspeace-secured Windows Server in the world. Compared to the same period last year, the amount of automated hacking attempts has dropped by 22 percent. That means the number of brute-force attacks in the world that were blocked by Syspeace was 750,000.
