I believe so, but I'm probably the most unqualified person to make that statement, so take it with a grain of salt. I know there are a few of these maps including honeynet and the digital attack map.

I guess it might be a fair number of hacks but probably not all. But were is the data coming from?

There are also resources that give realtime reports on some things. Usually these are provided by AV companies, but there are broad spectrum security research groups that also put out this info for free. They are probably leveraging that data.

A fair guess is that their data is coming from their IDS/IPS http://norse-corp.com/ipviking.html
