You can now watch hacking attempts in real-time thanks to Norse

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 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 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.
