I came across this table in the Verizon 2018 Data Breach Investigations Report and was slightly shocked myself.
Just 10% of data breaches; if not less, are the result of a physical hacking attempt but perhaps more surprisingly, Malware seems to be on the decline.
Malware is thought to be the most dangerous threat to cyber security and as illustrated below, since 2013 it has continued to rise however over the last two years we have seen a drop in Malware data breaches and I’m curious to find out why.
Are companies becoming more sophisticated with their cyber security or is there an up and coming threat on the horizon?
