....Although the number of Cyber Attacks in
February in kenya has not reached the level of January, the level of attention in
this part of the year remains high.
The Daily Trend of Attacks chart
clearly shows a peak around the 23th of February, the International
Privacy Day, when the Anonymous unleashed their OpBigBrother,
concentrating the fire against industries related to Video Surveillance
and several Law Enforcement Institutions. Other “trafficked” day of the
month were the 3rd and the 15th.
The Motivations Behind Attacks chart
confirms the prevalence of hacktivism with 56% of occurrences, exactly
the same percentage observed in January. Cyber Crime is stable at number
two, even if its percentage dropped from 40% to 31%. It is interesting
to notice, month after month, the growing number of Cyber Espionage
campaigns discovered.
SQLi leads the Distribution Of
Attack Techniques chart with 34.3% of occurrences, a value
similar to the one encountered in January (32.6%) when this category of
attacks ranked at number two. One month ago, the first place was for
DDoS, which apparently is loosing appeal in February, dropping from the
first to the fifth place with a small 8%, far from the 39% of the
previous month and also overtaken, by Targeted Attacks (11.7%). The next
months will tell us if this is the beginning of a new trend or simply
an isolated sporadic event.
Last but not least,industry targets lead
the Distribution Of Targets charts. This is a
consequence of the spree of attacks against video surveillance
industries happened on February the 23rd. Governmental targets confirm
their second place with a value (23.7%) close to the one registered
during the previous month. Targets belonging to organizations rank at
the third place, in front of financial targets.
As usual, no need to remind that the
sample must be taken very carefully since it refers only to discovered
attacks included in the 1-15 and 16-28 February 2013 Cyber Attacks Timelines (the
so-called tip of the iceberg), and hence it does not pretend to
be exhaustive but only aims to provide an high level overview of the
“cyber landscape”.
As they say in latin,''BAHEMUS ATTACKUM'' meaning ''we have a new attack''.Folks,kenyans,this menace is deadly than TB,swine flu and AIDS combined together.Believe me!!!!!!!!!...www.samwelkariuki.blogspot.com
