Thousands of cyber-attacks occur on a daily basis originating from various parts of the world and targeting a wide range of victims; visualizing them creates a better picture of the current threat landscape.
For this purpose and for keeping an eye on the changes in the behavior of a malicious actor, security researchers from FireEye created
ThreatMap, a representation of the communication between command and control (C&C) servers and the victims’ computers.
Visual created based on real attack information
The map does not show real-time attacks and it definitely does not display all incidents, otherwise the information would become useless, since no clear connection between an attacker and their victim would be visible.
