James Fallows, eminence grise at The Atlantic, has probably never played XCOM: Enemy Unknown. Today, however, he linked to a[ real-time cyberattacks map](http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2012/10/your-real-time-cyber-attack-map/263586/?ref=killscreen.com) made by the security concern Honeypot (FYI a “honey trap” is a dummy server made to look like exploitable by hackers, in order to catch them). It looks exactly like the map in the alien-invasion sim.

> The HoneyMap shows a real-time visualization of attacks against the Honeynet Project’s sensors deployed around the world. It leverages the internal data sharing protocol [hpfeeds](https://github.com/rep/hpfeeds?ref=killscreen.com) as its data source.

So this map is cool as all-get-out. [Peep it.](http://map.honeynet.org/?ref=killscreen.com)
