Internet managed security firm Riptech, Inc., has released volume II of its Internet Security Threat Report, showing that Internet attacks grew at an annualized rate of 64 percent in the period in the first six months of this year and provides what the Alexandria, Va.-based company calls the "first insight into U.S. designated terrorist states' cyber-attack volume and patterns."

Riptech notes in the report that attacks originating from these areas exhibit different scan patterns than those from other nations.

The report cuts through the massive volume of low-impact malicious activities to reveal a highly focused, small demographic of elite hackers. Comprising less than one percent of all cyber assailants, these hackers are marked by a high number of attack signatures, extended attack duration, and their focus on a small number of select targets.
