Feeling luck, eh punk?

Sometimes it is just helpful to get a perspective on how well "the Internet" works from my perspective by taking a look at the real-time attack map put out by a major research group. Always changing because so are the attacks.

Mind you, the "source" of the attack is not necessarily the "true source" of the attack because botnets and such play an important factor. Read that as "apparent source".

I am so easily amused.

Question from an ignorant observer. How do they know they are attacks?
