Indonesia just passed China as the world’s top apparent source of cyber attacks

“Indonesia is now the top source of online attacks among 175 countries or regions observed by Akamai, a cloud-computing business that serves almost a fifth of global web traffic. According to a new report (pdf) by the firm, Indonesia’s share of online attack traffic almost doubled from the previous quarter, to 38%. The report looked at unwarranted interactions with unadvertised IP addresses run by Akamai, which the firm identified as online attacks, as well as those that disrupt or knock a website offline, or distributed-denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. DDoS attacks had increased 54% from the quarter before. “
