- Kaspersky keeps track of important statsIt’s always interesting to see real-time information about the world around us, especially when it comes to the Internet. Well, Kaspersky has stepped up and it’s keeping an eye on things, planning to deliver important information with as much accuracy as possible.
The popular anti-virus maker has put together a site that it launched earlier this week, in which it provides real-time cyber stats.
For instance, it may be interesting to know just how many cyber attacks happen in a day. The number – over 9.6 million before 5PM – should send a shiver down your spine and give you a grasp about how unsafe you are whenever you are online. Perhaps such frank numbers are what the world needs to take online security seriously.
Kaspersky’s site comes full of additional information. For instance, this year alone, Google users have already performed 336 billion searches, while over 148 billion emails have been sent today, while the number rises to 43,411 billion since the year began.
Since we have mentioned security, it should be noted that over the past nearly six months, over 42,500 sites have been hacked, while the monthly online threats’ number has risen to over 86 million.
There are also over 33 million new Internet users that have joined in since the year began, which means that there are over 2.9 billion Internet users in the entire world, our of the 7.2 billion people populating Earth.
More stats are available on Kaspersky’s new site, so you should really check it out.
