Internet Storm Center Tracks Hack Attacks

An Anonymous Coward writes: "It looks like Incidents.org has a new offspring, the Internet Storm Center. The internet storm center uses data from DShield.org to track hack attacks all over the world. Some of the interesting trivia: While usually, China has a bad reputation for the volume of attack coming from it, the US outpaces China by a lot. Actually, China only comes in at #6. So much for the great security boost the US gets from using genuine Microsoft software."

  1. Survey: We Only See the Tip of the Iceberg by ltsmash · · Score: 3, Informative

    The Computer Security Institute announced in its Computer Crime and Security Survey that 90% of respondents had security breaches in the last year. ONLY 34% reported ANY of the breaches to law enforcement for fear of bad publicity.

    Bottom line: We barely see the tip of the iceberg when it comes to computer security breaches.
