Watch, weep, enjoy, whatever - cyber attacks in real time - the ultimate reality show!

This Site Shows Who Is Hacking Whom Right Now — And The US Is Getting Hammered

By Jeremy Bender 

U.S.-based computer security firm Norse has released a real-time animated map that illustrates ongoing cyberattacks around the world. Without a doubt, the U.S. is getting constantly hammered by hackers.

In just 45 minutes, the U.S. was the victim of 5,840 cyberattacks.

A view of the cyberattacks carried out against the U.S. within a 45-minute span.  Within that span of time, the U.S. suffered from 27 times more cyberattacks than Thailand, the second most targeted country. Thailand was the target of only 220 cyber attacks during these 45 minutes. 

The Norse map does not represent all hacking attempts in the world. Instead, according to Smithsonian Magazine, the map relies on a Norse honeypot network — a network purposefully designed to detect hacking — to provide a representative snapshot of global hacking attempts.

In actuality, there are orders of magnitude more hacking attempts on any given day than recorded by Norse. For instance, there are an estimated 20 million attacks per day against locations within Utah. There are 10 million daily hacking attempts against the Pentagon alone.


China is responsible for the vast majority of these attacks. Within the 45-minute span, China accounted for 2,513 attacks. The U.S. accounted for the second highest number of attacks, with 1,550 attacks originating within America. However, a number of American attacks targeted computers elsewhere in the United States.

It is likely that these intra-U.S. attacks are the result of "zombie computers"  — computers that have been compromised by a hacker and carry out attacks at the hacker's discretion.


Chinese cyber attacks are highly damaging to both the U.S. economy and national security. China is currently developing a new plane that is modeled after stolen plans for the U.S. F-35 fifth-generation plane.

WizArmor™Avatar - Cyber Bodyguard for Youth Internet Computer Security - Unleashed on Internet

.


Using fascinating new stealth technologies, algorithms never seen before and incredible futuristic cloning techniques, there may be hope for Internet users, especially the unsuspecting youth, from the WizArmor™Avatar cyber security techology.


Modern technology, especially the Internet, has opened a world of opportunity and wonder with incredible learning and skill development opportunities for our Youth.

At the same time, the Internet is unregulated by any government, beyond the control of any nation, cannot be censored for moral or crime prevention purposes. Children are often victimized by the most vicious and sophisticated criminals, hackers and predators in our history.

Our Youth, our Teens and Tweens, face very real but invisible Internet dangers including Predators, Pornography, Crime, Identity Theft, Child Porn, Scams, Sexting and Invasion of Privacy. In fact more and more Youth every day become victims of the "creepo" deviants seeking to entrap and victimize them.

The WizArmor™Avatar incorporates next generation computer security technology featuring unique patented techniques to create a clone of the user system and route all incoming traffic into the clone for testing, thus capturing all known and unknown malware before it can infect the user pc.

Upon identification of the invader the WizArmor™Avatar destroys the clone along with the invader and never allows the user computer to be infected. A new WizArmor™Avatar clone instantaneously replaces the destroyed clone.

The WizArmor™Avatar protects the individual user computer from all known types of malware such as viruses, worms, spyware and other techniques of invisible predators intended seek out and find potential victims without their knowledge.

WizArmor technology takes a new approach. It does not care how the potential offender “looks” – it does not depend on a database of known viruses or worms. Instead, when installed, the system builds a “clone” of your computer. All the potential offenders are directed into that “clone” and tested there. If the “clone“ is harmed – it is destroyed along with the offender and a new “clone” is immediately erected.

All computer users are painfully familiar with the first generation "legacy" security systems purportedly protecting their computers – the endless “patches” and the urgent updating for “newly discovered critical vulnerabilities”. And, of course, “scanning” – the most annoying activity of searching all your files for the known malware that has already infected and is hiding in their computers. We all know that this scanning usually comes at the worst time, ties up our computers for a long period, and usually is hopeless.

The reason for shortcomings in the first generation "legacy" computer security systems is the principle they are based on. These systems can protect only against known to the database offenders. How do these offenders become known to the database? Simple -- by infecting computers. In other words, when a new virus is released it is not known to the database, so it easily gets through all the defenses and infects computer. Then, if somebody figures out what happened, a “patch” is developed, and the virus is added to the database. But it’s too late; a lot of damage has already been done. Needless to say, maintaining the active virus database and developing “patches” is cumbersome and expensive, and the user eventually pays for it.

Is the threat real? On September 17, 2010 Congressman Chris Smith (R-N.J.) told a House subcommittee that stronger efforts need to be made to curb the scourge of child sex-trafficking, which has gained new fuel through the internet.

A 2009 National Report on Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking, America’s Prostituted Children, conducted by Shared Hope International, found an estimated 100,000 U.S. minors are victimized annually with the average age of initial exploitation between 12-13 years old.

The US State Department’s recent annual report on human trafficking estimates that the number of “adults and children in forced labor, bonded labor, and forced prostitution around the world” is 12.3 million.

Identity theft through malware and hacking results in the hijacking of bank, credit card and other personal information then used to victimize Young users and can lead to long term credit and other problems that can plague them for years.

The WizArmor™Avatar is your cyber bodyguard to protect our Youth from all such unknown attacks that infect personal computers. You can even watch the attacks in Real Time while your Avatar seeks out and destroys your enemy. For information please visit our web site at WizArmor.com and discover for yourself how the WizArmor™Avatar can protect our Youth while allowing Parents the knowledge that a powerful invisible Sentinel is always on guard defending our Children from harm.

Cyber Day against Cyber Censorship - Why not Cyber Day for True Computer Security?

.





Today is Cyber Day against Cyber censorship. What in the world does that mean? Did the New World Order take control of the Internet and decide on behalf of all nations there will be no censorship of all the stuff on the Internet?

I don't remember anything in our Constitution that says you can promote triple X rated pornography, or prostitution rings, child porn, brutal video games or pedophiles on the Internet. In fact the Internet users are being ripped off to the tune of billions of dollars by all the things being stolen from them on the Internet from identity theft to credit card theft to cell phone theft to bank and medical records.



Today should be the day of Cyber Truth on the Internet because no one seems interested in the truth and no one seems capable to telling it to us. The truth is this, you are not really protected on the Internet by any security system, antivirus, antiphishing, malware of any other type of digital crime whose purpose is to steal your records.

Not a day goes by that some company does not admit records were stolen, the banks don't report the theft of millions of credit card numbers, or that your personal records are so secure that you don't need to check your phone or credit card statements for false billings. Yet if you listen to the many computer security pitches you would think the protection you are paying for will be there.



So far a security system that really does protect your records does not exist, even though billions of dollars are being spent on computer security. Even the most protected sites in the world, those of the governments, defense and intelligence agencies are routinely hacked and disabled.

Digital crime is a multi-billion dollar business and those stakes have attracted the best, brightest and most devious in the world to figure out every possible way to steal you blind and right now you can count on being a victim because there is nothing to stop you from being a victim.



As you and your life become more and more dependent on the Internet you become more and more vulnerable to attack. We are headed for a paperless economy and that means even money in your pocket will become a thing of the past. Every transaction you make will be over the Internet and the truth is if there was a way to protect those transactions it would be a great benefit to mankind. See if you can get an ironclad guarantee for protection from any digital attack.

I challenge you to find any computer security firm in the world that offers a way to detect digital attacks and destroy the attack before it gets in your machine. It would take a revolutionary new approach to computers with futuristic design concepts to truly outwit the hackers of the world and keep your computer truly protected.



Let me know if you hear of such a solution because right now our future is bleak.
