Verizon released its ninth annual Verizon Data Breach Report this morning. 89 percent of the attacks were by financially-motivated crime syndicates, 9 percent by state-affiliated actors. 63 percent of all breaches included the use of stolen credentials, up from 51 percent in last year’s report. In 92 percent of breaches, it took attackers just minutes to get into a company after the first attempt, with 30 percent able to exfiltrate the first data within hours, and another 68% able to get data out within days.”]
