Most vulnerable to hacker attacks in 20 countries in the world ranking: Fifth China-hackers, Internet-IT news
On June 9, according to foreign media reports, the information security firm Rapid7 recently produced a piece called "vulnerable country indices" Web heat maps, announced the national ranking of most vulnerable to hacker attacks. Rapid7 scans all access servers on the Internet.
According to the Rapid7, State of the world's most vulnerable to hacker attacks is Belgium, followed by Tajikistan, Samoa, and Australia. County ranked 5th United States ranked 14th, United Kingdom ranked 23rd.
This hot spot map Project Sonar from Rapid7. Through this tool, Rapid7 can scan in a few hours all the public IP address and find out what these servers to provide Internet services.
For example, if the server is open on port 80, you can HTTP Web services. However, the server is in the top 10 services provided via the Internet, there are 8 types of services are not encrypted, including outdated mail protocol POP3, as well as unencrypted FTP file transfer service.
Through certain ports provide security services, which in itself does not mean that the server is not secure. Rapid7 says: "more services provided by the server or device, the more vulnerable to attack. "If hackers cannot pass a service to connect to the server, it would be impossible to attack through the service. Therefore, the server provides number of services is directly proportional with the information security risks that exist.
Rapid7 pointed out that enterprises will not be an open port is not security, but if you provide 20 open ports, information security will be even more difficult.
3 tangmu·beidesili, one of the authors of the report (Tom Beardsley) for this finding was surprising. He said: "we had originally thought, the most vulnerable countries are the most richest countries. "Should the wealthiest countries has the most networking devices, this means that may be subject to greater risk of attack. "If it is rich, then the Internet will be more developed. But we have not found, network node correlation between quantity and risk being attacked. ”
Internet in mainland China are well developed, but Belgium was ranked first in the ranking. This is because, in Belgium, many Internet nodes are not provided by the security services. Beidesili the case of database Protocol. He said although many people want to access the database directly, but to do so would bring a great deal of risk, potentially steal information by an unauthorized person.
Rapid7 's project is to fully understand the Internet security. Beidesili said: "everything is on the Internet, and Internet problems. "There is other research institutions conducted similar surveys, such as the 2012" Internet census. " However, these investigations are disposable.
Beidesili hope that conducting such surveys on a regular basis in the future, to determine whether the Internet is developing towards a good direction. They hope that insecure servers over the coming few years gradually launched. However, taking into account the rapid development of the Internet of things, things are likely to get worse.

全球最易受黑客攻击的20个国家排名：中国第五 - 黑客,网络 - IT资讯
6月9日，据国外媒体报道，信息安全公司Rapid7近期制作了一张名为“易受攻击国家指数”的互联网热区图，公布了最易遭受黑客攻击的国家排名。Rapid7扫描了互联网上所有可访问的服务器。
Rapid7的数据显示，全球最易受黑客攻击的国家是比利时，而随后为塔吉克斯坦、萨摩亚和澳大利亚。中国大陆排名第5，美国排名第14，英国排名第23。
这张热区图来自Rapid7的Project Sonar。通过这一工具，Rapid7可以在几小时的时间里扫描所有公开的IP地址，并了解这些服务器向互联网提供了什么样的服务。
例如，如果服务器开放了80端口，那么就可以提供HTTP网页服务。不过，在服务器通过互联网提供的前10大服务中，有8种服务都没有加密，其中包括过时的电子邮件协议POP3，以及未加密的文件传输服务FTP。
通过某些端口提供不安全的服务，这本身并不意味着服务器也不安全。不过Rapid7表示：“服务器或设备提供的服务越多，就越容易受到攻击。”如果黑客无法通过某项服务连接至服务器，那么就不可能通过该服务去展开攻击。因此，服务器提供的服务数量与存在的信息安全风险成正比例关系。
Rapid7指出，一个开放的端口不会令企业不安全，但如果提供20个开放的端口，那么保障信息安全将会更困难。
报告的3名作者之一汤姆·贝德斯里（Tom Beardsley）对于这项发现感到惊讶。他表示：“我们原本以为，最易受到攻击的国家是最富裕的国家。”最富裕的国家应当有着最多的联网设备，这意味着可能受攻击的风险也越大。“如果是富国，那么互联网就会更发达。不过我们并没有发现，在联网节点数量和被攻击风险之间存在相关性。”
中国大陆的互联网很发达，但比利时却在这一排名中位居第一。这是由于，在比利时，许多互联网节点提供的都是不安全服务。贝德斯里以数据库协议为例。他表示，尽管许多人都希望能直接访问数据库，但这样做将带来很大的风险，一些未经授权的人有可能偷走信息。
Rapid7的这一项目是为了全面了解互联网的安全状况。贝德斯里表示：“所有一切都位于互联网之上，而互联网存在问题。”此前也有其他研究机构进行过类似调查，例如2012年时的“互联网普查”。不过这些调查都是一次性的。
贝德斯里希望，未来能定期进行这样的调查，以判断互联网是否正在向好的方向发展。他们希望，不安全的服务器能在未来几年时间里逐渐下线。不过，考虑到物联网的快速发展，情况有可能会变得更糟糕。
以下是Rapid7报告中互联网最不安全的20个国家和地区：
1.比利时
2.塔吉克斯坦
3.萨摩亚
4.澳大利亚
5.中国大陆
6.香港
7.多米尼加
8.阿富汗
9.南非
10.埃塞俄比亚
11.肯尼亚
12.加蓬
13.法国
14.美国
15.莫桑比克
16.日本
17.卡塔尔
18.也门
