Data Breach Study Spanning 500 Break-Ins Released
Dr. Jim Anderson writes "The good folks over at Verizon Business have released a report that summarizes what they've found after looking through 500 forensic investigations involving 230 million records, and analyzes hundreds of corporate breaches including three of the five largest ones ever reported. What did they find? How about (1) Nearly nine in 10 corporate data breaches could have been prevented had reasonable security measures been in place, (2) Fewer than 25 percent of attacks took advantage of a known or unknown vulnerability and (3) attacks from Asia, particularly in China and Vietnam, often involve application exploits leading to data compromise, while defacements frequently originate from the Middle East."
How the hell are we supposed to defend ourselves against the 75% of attacks that are immune to the laws of logic???
Some Partners!!
Watch your backs guys.
PS. How can 39% rise 5 fold?
If I had an Ass, I'd call it Fanny Bottom, then I could slap my Ass; Fanny Bottom, on the Arse.
... those are features.
... took advantage of a known or unknown vulnerability? What the hell did the other 75% do?? username: adminpassword: password
Clearly what they are referring to are quantum vulnerabilities. The exact nature of the vulnerability doesn't become clear until someone observes it.
It is by the juice of the coffee bean that thoughts acquire speed, the teeth acquire stains. The stains become a warning
TAKE down your damn post. I'm reporting you to the FBI for cracking my password!
