Massive cyberattacks directed at St Louis?

After learning about Norse today, I have been sitting here staring at it and there are a MASSIVE (approximately 9 out of 10) number of cyberattacks pointed at St Louis. Why? I've poked about and I can't find any possible reason other than Norse is located there.

Is this a usual occurance? I'm guessing not but I could be wrong.

As far as i know they are dummy targets set up to catch the attackers/hackers.
There was a thread not so long ago, around the time of the big DDOS attacks, asking the same question

It's a secret, but NORSE is located in the suburbs of St Louis - you're seeing the packets that they're intercepting.

Thank you. I'm new.

If they're dummy targets it would seem they're pretty effective! It makes the map less visually interesting though. Heh.

Ah cool. I too was wondering why all the attacks on St.Louis since I live right by there. This explains it.Thanks Heff
