“Computers specially configured (by Coalition) to make cyber criminals think they were small businesses operating in London were attacked by hackers over 2,000 times every minute this January.”
Most attacks involved attempts to hack remote desktop connections.
“’These results show just how much home working has widened businesses’ attack surface – the number of internet connections and vulnerabilities that hackers can exploit. 85% of attacks we saw were attempts to gain unauthorised access to these remote connections,’ commented Dr Simon Bell, Coalition’s UK security researcher.”
Among other uses, data generated by Coalition will be used by a British cyber group to provide security advice to companies.
