Run a firewall on a server. Count every ping/scan as an attempted hack. Say you have 1000 legitimate users in a give day. You will probably see 1000 pings, scans, and other general junk per hour. (This is hard to do in places like cloudflare that filter much of this junk traffic before it hits their customers.)


So far I'm with you and I think I might agree with your conclusion.

What I wanted to know was some background on the 94% figure, do we now this is how they arrived at that number?
