How to watch hacking, and cyberwarfare between the USA and China, in real time

Master · 02-07-2015, 01:26 PM

You’ve no doubt heard countless stories about how the internet is rife with hackers and ruled by malware-peddling malcontents. You’ve probably read dozens of paragraphs on how the next great theater of war will be online rather than offline, and how China and the US are already battling each other for cyber supremacy. The truth is, though, unless you’ve actually been hacked, it’s hard to appreciate just how real the prospect of cyberwar actually is; after all, the effects of hacking are mostly invisible to the untrained eye, with the exception of very-high-profile database breaches. Now, though, a security company has produced a fascinating geographic map that shows you global hacking attempts in real-time — and sure enough, you really can see China waging cyberwar against the US.

Kinda Spiffy, actually. Accuracy is questionable, though.

What I'm thinking is that the company that owns this website has honeypot servers set up, allowing them to track the traffic that's going on.

EDIT: Actually read the article and I was right.

That's really interesting actually! Thanks for the share!

the part I don't think is accurate (or at least doesn't give the full picture) is, How much of whatever attacks/traffic is from botnets? How much of the traffic is truly attributable to Papua New Guinea or Uruguay?
