    I've never posted a link to a Fox News affiliate before... Here goes! http://fox2now.com/2015/07/08/is-st-louis-under-a-cyber-attack-threat-map-points-to-china/ http://fox2now.com/2015/07/08/is-st-louis-under-a-cyber-atta... Ok, so.. Norse Corp, the ones that make the map, has offices in St. Louis.

      "We are not under attack. We are not going to die. You have to come to work tomorrow." Awesome.

        Wow, that FOX site has actually replaced the original article with the one you see now. There's NO mention of the change.

          We're shocked.

    That's because of all the defense / Intel work in St. Louis (Scott afb etc). And to the other commenter talking about Kirksville, that's where the JSS is.

  LOL, I had the same initial reaction. Apparently Norse monitors global cyber attacks[1]. So the real question is not why they hate St. Louis but why does China hate St. Louis? I found the link while reading conspiracy theories about the NYSE shut down this morning[2]. I have no idea about the quality of the data. I just thought the visualization was cool.

    There are 16 colo centers in St. Louis according to http://www.datacentermap.com/usa/missouri/st-louis/ http://www.datacentermap.com/usa/missouri/st-louis/, I wonder if anyone interesting has rack space there.

    Norse has offices in St. Louis and I'm sure that's where they host the majority of their honeypots. Thus, you see a lot of attacks hitting St. Louis.

  Norse Corp. is a threat intelligence company. I believe one of their HQ is located in St. Louis and is where they currently host many of their honeypots. That is why you see St. Louis being attacked a lot.

  What's even funnier is all the attacks aimed at Kirksville. What a funny little one-horse town that is.
