Here we are with the statistics extracted from the October cyber attacks timelines (part I and part II).
I have already stressed this concept many times, but some readers keep on asking where the data is scraped from. The answer is simple and always the same: I compile the timelines each month, quoting the sources in the footnotes. Each month I elaborate the data trying to represent them in charts, which of course cannot be exhaustive, but just give an idea of what’s going on in the cyberspace.
That said, this month I added again an old acquaintance: the graph related to the Country Distribution of attacks divided into categories: of course US rank of top, except for Cyber Espionage operations, which privilege multiple countries.
Instead, the Trend of Attacks chart shows an overall high level of activity throughout the month, with a prominent peak around the 9th, corresponding to the spree of attacks between India and Pakistan.
