2008-06-13 11:53:58 by Editor in IT Security - The IT Security Industry's Web Resource
 

Chris Wysopal has a writeup on the recent Verizon Business data breach report today. The report found that 59% of breaches of the 59% of data breaches involve hacking, with the following breakdown:

  • Application/Service layer -39%
  • OS/Platform layer - 23%
  • Exploit known vulnerability -18%
  • Exploit unknown vulnerability - 5%
  • Use of back door -15%

That is over half - 62% of hacks — targeting the OS and App layers. Breaches have been moving up the OSI stack in recent years.
