A PROCEDURE FOR ESTIMATING THE STATISTICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF STREAMS OF HACKER ATTACKS. THE STRUCTURE AND DETERMINATION OF THEIR FUNDAMENTAL PROPERTIES

摘要

A procedure for estimating the statistical characteristics of ordinary streams of random events is proposed. This procedure was used to investigate the characteristics of hacker phishing attacks in the period from December 2008 to October 2010. A comparative investigation of the monthly dynamics of phishing attacks and attacks using malicious software, recorded in 2009, is described.
