Sit Back and Watch Hacks Around the World in Real-Time

Want to Feel Anxious about your Internet Connection ? The Security Firm, Norse, is More than Happy to Oblige. It's Running a Live Hacking Map that Shows the Attacks against a Worldwide Honeypot (that is, Purposefully Vulnerable) Network as they Happen. While this Isn't Representative of the Full Internet, it does Act like a Microcosm to Some Degree -- the Bulk of Attacks Originate from China or the US, while Americans almost Always Serve as the Punching Bag. You'll Even See Large-Scale (and Surprisingly Pretty-Looking) Assaults if you Tune in at the Right Time. Now, if you'll Excuse us, we're Going to Double-Check on our Firewalls...this Map Isn't Exactly Reassuring.
