To be exact, Cisco says the attackers used 1,127,818 different IPs and launched 744,361,093 login attempts using a total of 220,758,340 distinct email addresses ( Well those are some big numbers ). These attackers targeted many services, but the lion’s share of the login attempts were targeted at two companies, one in media & entertainment and one in the financial sector. The attack against the financial target was accounted for over 90 percent of the total volume |
