Honeynet Cyberattack Map Honeynet
This beautiful, hard-to-look-away-from graphic from the Honeynet Project shows cyberattacks as they happen, and where they happen. The red dots represent attacks; the yellow dots are “honeypots,” or sensors, which monitor and publish the flow of cyberattacks.
You can watch it all flow across the bottom, too. Almost every second, a new attack is reported and pushed through.
So what this shows are cyberattacks. Some cyberattacks. Not anywhere close to all of them. Only some of the sensors are reporting the attacks on vulnerable systems to the internal feed system, where that scrolling list is coming from. The graphic is automatically charting those attacks based on the IP addresses that are published. Read/Watch here>>
