Anbei ein paar Highlights aus den Data Breach Report 2009
How do breaches occur?
In the more successful breaches, the attacker exploited some mistake committed by the victim, hacked into the network,
and installed malware on a system to collect data. 98 percent of all records breached included at least one of these
attributes. Unauthorized access via default credentials (usually third-party remote access) and SQL injection (against web
applications) were the top types of hacking. The percentage of customized malware used in these attacks more than
doubled in 2008. Privilege misuse was fairly common, but not many breaches from physical attacks were observed in 2008.
