According to the latest stats from content delivery and security firm Akamai, Indonesia has had the dubious honor of supplanting China as the number one source of attack traffic globally. Indonesia accounted for 38 per cent of the world’s attack traffic.
The US showed a decline – from 8.3 per cent to 6.9 per cent.
However, according to the report, it is possible that cybercriminals are just using compromised machines in Indonesia through which to route attacks.
The Asia-Pacific is by far the world’s worst offender, now accounting for a mammoth 79 per cent of observed attacks compared to around 10 per cent each for Europe and the Americas.
