New report tells that attacks in internet keep concentrating strongly to a couple of countries. On the top of the list is China and a bit surprisingly the United States is on the second place. It looks though that there's a reason for this phenomenon.
The report has been collected by web technical company Akamai which has servers over the world. According to Akamai 17 (16.77) percentage of attacks came from China on the first quarter of 2008. Attacks from the United States was 14 (14.33) percentage.
Attacks seem to concentrate since 75% of them came from 10 countries. For example Japan (3.56), Brazil (4.75), Argentina (5.65), Venezuela (8.89) and Taiwan (11.82) are on this list.
Akamai tells that big amount of attacks are from malware programs that are years old. New protectors should basically catch these easily. This may tell that base of the attacks is a large pool of Windows systems which security is left without attention.
