11:06 Russia leader in the number of "aggressive" traffic | |
| The company Akamai, one of the leaders in providing sites for content and cloud services, conducted a comprehensive study of Internet security, using multiple sensors around the world (use the services of Akamai NASA, McAfee, FedEx, General Motors and many others). Due to its extensive network coverage of Akamai identified the main sources of Web-based threats and the object of close attention from hackers. According to a study by the first quarter of 2010, Russia was the main source of scams. 12% of attacks falls on the Russian traffic. It should be noted that Russia is the third consecutive quarter, holding leadership and it is unlikely that will soon give up. Slightly behind the U.S., "taking" second place with 10% (although last year Americans occupied 12%). A dozen countries have been threats of 4 European countries (Italy (4,4%), Germany (3,9%), Romania (3.2%) and Poland (2.4%)). The full composition of the original top-10 can see in the image: As is typical, universal leader in terms of traffic generated by the malware found was Europe with 44% of the original "market." Furthermore, Europe was and absolute leader in terms of Web threats in mobile networks, although analysts say Akamai, the threat does not necessarily come from the infected mobile devices, from computers that are running on the mobile broadband Internet. Charts are shown below: Now that were attacked in the first quarter of 2010. The most coveted target was 445 (Microsoft Directory Services), which is known worm Conficker «took note of." About 74% of attacks were directed at the vulnerability, since many computers are still not protected from this malicious program. The difference of successful attacks in different countries varies. For example, in the U.S. reached a target of about 50% of attacks, whereas, for example, in Romania, almost 95%. The remaining members of the top-10: 22 - SSH (6.3%), 139 - NetBIOS (3.2%), 23 - Telnet (2.5%), 135 - Microsoft-RPC (2.5%), 80 - WWW (1.7% ), 4899 - Remote Administrator (1.5%), 1433 - Microsoft SQL Server (1.1%), 5900 - VNC Server (0.9%) and 1080 - SOCKS Proxy (0.5%). View a comparison with 4 blocks can be on the table below: Definition of pride for our hackers still there, but ... be warned, and customize the protection =) Thanks to the distinguished habrayuzeru litos for valuable remark that may have a high percentage of attacks in Russia attributed to the low level of computer literacy in the country. Fully opinion can be read here. I'd add that the level of piracy in Russia is quite wide, so the OS and remedies may not receive timely updates, which leads to multiple vulnerabilities.
