Hacker Watch


HackerWatch Map

I’m getting several attempts on my computer every day. I report these hacker attempts with my firewall software.

They analyze corporate and individually-submitted data like mine to track patterns of attacks, hacking attempts, and disruptions. Once a pattern is mapped, the appropriate authorities and ISP carriers can be notified.

I just looked at their sourcemaps for the first time today.

Significant incidents recently reported:
24 Hours – 78,541,667
7 Days – 547,791,660
30 Days – 2,356,379,550

It shocks me to see that the sources of the attacks are mostly in the US and Northern Europe.

Wow! Look at Texas! What does it mean?

Texas? I thinks you may be getting a tad paranoid!

Naaah!

I am, but actually I thought it was kind of funny. Who woulda thunk of Texas as a home for hackers?

Well, it used to be home to Reic Bloodaxe. One of the Legendary Hackers and the Legion of Doom guys back in the late 80’s early 90’s.

OMG!!! I’m such a geek!

Texas. Of Course. It makes perfect sense. :-) Hackers…. Hiding behind the “Bush”es :-)
