Russia is the main threat to the global Internet

From the study of the American company Akamai, two conclusions can be drawn. First, Russia is the leader in the number of launched cyber attacks. Secondly, one can not think about the difficulties of the development of the Internet associated with the exhaustion of the number of IP addresses for another 15 years. Akamai has released a report on the use of the Internet in different countries. According to this report, Russia is the leader in the amount of traffic associated with various network attacks: 13% of all attacks originate from Russia. Russia - the leader in the number of attacks Of all system services, it is most often attacked by Microsoft-DS, running on port 445 and responsible for external access to files and folders on the Windows system. Akamai also investigated the growth in the number of IPs allocated on the Internet. A known problem is that the IP addresses of the currently adopted IPv4 standard are less than 4.3 billion, so with a noticeable increase in the number of households and offices connected to the Network, the addresses may end. In fact, this problem is resolvable within the framework of IPv4, however, the transition to IPv6 is considered as its main solution. Akamai found that in 2009 the number of allocated IP addresses was only 465 million. About 40% of them were in China and the USA. Moreover, a study of the history of the issue suggests that the growth in the number of allocated IP addresses is slowing down, not accelerating. This is facilitated by both approaching saturation and increasing the use of NAT and proxy servers by providers. Thus, in order to exhaust the available range of IP addresses, even while maintaining the current growth rate, it will take about 15 years. The link is not valid
