+1 on Jack's recommendation of Brian Krebs I saw this come down on twitter today http://www.pandasecurity.com/homeusers/media/press-releases/viewnews?noticia=10116
Just note the source - AV companies have everything to gain from FUD Problem I see with any stats regarding such compromises. is Companies often will not report the breach. Even states with Breach notification laws often do not require disclosure of the Company to the public. Combine that with the fact that such legislation only covers notification of specific data (i.e. PI) and there are 40 something different variations in different states, I think there isn't a chance of getting an accurate representation of the issue we are facing. But I will end my rant here Tim On Tue, Mar 30, 2010 at 6:32 AM, Jack Daniel <[email protected]> wrote: > Brian Krebs has done a good job of reporting on this issue, see his > blog at http://www.krebsonsecurity.com/, he even has a "Target: Small > Business" section with numerous posts on the topic, that's at > http://www.krebsonsecurity.com/category/smallbizvictims/ > > Short version of this situation: Most small biz are no more tech savvy > than home users, but don't have the financial account protections of > individuals, and usually have more in the bank than an individual- so > they're a great and vulnerable target. > > Jack > > -- > ______________________________________ > Jack Daniel, Reluctant CISSP > http://twitter.com/jack_daniel > http://www.linkedin.com/in/jackadaniel > http://blog.uncommonsensesecurity.com > > > On Mon, Mar 29, 2010 at 10:37 PM, Arnaud <[email protected]> wrote: >> I'm looking for information security statistics as it pertains to small >> businesses.
