Verizon releases snapshot of data from its upcoming 2012 Data Breach Investigations Report. Retail, financial services, and hospitality were the most compromised industries again. Verizon: “This is the first year that we worked more cases outside the U.S. than inside. That ratio has been building and it makes the case that this is not a U-U.S.-specific problem,” says Wade Baker, director of research and intelligence at Verizon Enterprise Solutions. The rise in hacktivist-based attacks was a big factor in this year’s cases, Baker says.”]
