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. Moderated Lead-Message Posting: -1: Flamebait by ScottKin · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Since when is the ammount of hacking attacks / attempts directly equivalent to the number of Windows boxen?

    As I can remember, this is *not* the first time that a lead topic posting could be considered as "Flamebait" - but obviously, the /. topic-nazi's look the other way when it's virtually an ad hominem attack against Windows.
