Pretty interesting site I ran across. I thought I would share. This is only representing 1% of the attacks that are occurring live.

Saudi Arabia and China...bunch of ********.

I would have questions about validity of the map though. The reason being, its very easy to mask your IP address if one wanted to. You can make it appear as though you are in China with a few clicks.

There's a spot off the west coast of Africa that gets bombarded. if you look at a map there isn't anything there. So, after a few Google questions I found this from Wikipedia.

Null Island is a fictional island in the Gulf of Guinea added to the Natural Earth public domain map dataset,[1] located where the equator crosses the prime meridian, at coordinates

WikiMiniAtlas
0°N 0°E / 0°N 0°E / 0; 0.[2][3] Natural Earth describes the entity as a "1 meter square island" with "scale rank 100, indicating it should never be shown in mapping."[1] Although intended humorously, the fiction has a serious purpose and is used by mapping systems to trap errors.[3]


In reality, a weather observation buoy, part of the PIRATA system, is moored at the supposed location of the island.[4]
