The German website |
The global operation is set up by German telecom provider Deutsche Telecom, who has installed 97 so-called 'honey-pots', who sniff out cyber attacks, so the company can prepare itself, and its clients for attacks.
The number two on the list is Taiwan, politically correct described as a Chinese province, is the source of 900,000 attacks. Mainland China only slightly over 150,000. Even the US is, with over 350,000 attacks, a major source of cyber attacks.
Other site come up with other data, and in every case it might make sense to open the machine and see how it works.
I leave it up to the engineers to look into the technicalities (is it by accident that a German site discovers so many German attacks?). Are they missing some kinds of attacks? It puts the whole hacking discussion a bit more in perspective.
