DShield.com, which runs a very cool distributed security monitoring system (by collecting and analyzing firewall logs from thousands of global participants), provides an interesting graphic on the geographic distribution of global cyber-attacks. As an example of bottoms up defensive system design in the absence of any meaningful government presence, DShield.com gets my nod of approval.
Of course, the complexity of these attacks (using false fronts, cross border redirections, slaved systems, etc.), the rapidity of its growth, and diversity of the motives (criminal, maliciousness, etc.) isn't visible in this diagram, but a sense of the breadth is. Activity in the world of electronic security should also be seen as a leading indicator for what will eventually arrive in the physical world as barriers continue to fall. It's as certain as rain.
