By now, this year there have been 810 automated hacking attempts per Syspeace-secured server in the USA. Compared to the same period last year, the number of automated hacking attempts has diminished by 48 percent. That is to say, Syspeace blocked 330,000 brute-force attacks in the USA.
The statistics 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 track down and prevent. Syspeace scans all the global Syspeace-secured Windows Servers 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 different passwords and passphrases in the system, hoping to ultimately get them right. The attacker systematically checks all possible passwords and passphrases to find the correct one.
To keep trouble out and block brute-force attacks, Syspeace offers software that protects enterprises from IT theft, combined with excellent customer support.
