International Differences in Windows Remote Desktop Hacking: An Analysis of Honeypot Data

This study examines international differences in hacking attempts using honeypot data, analyzing 504,877 login attempts from 314 unique IP addresses over a 3-month period. The authors test hypotheses based on socio-economic factors — unemployment, poverty, GDP and education expenditures — and attribute to higher unemployment and lower education expenditures a correlation with more breach attempts per country, and to lower education expenditures a correlation with higher success rates of breach attempts.
