There were a total of 1,254 publicly reported data breaches worldwide in the first quarter of 2017. These breaches exposed a mind-boggling 3.4 billion records containing sensitive data. Risk Based Security’s VulnDB database published 4,837 vulnerabilities in Q1 2017. More than 35% of the flaws already had publicly available exploits or there was enough information about them to make the flaws trivially exploitable. Nearly 18% of data breaches had unknown origins, according to risk Based Security.”]
