Verizon released its latest Data Breach Investigation Report (DBIR) highlighting the latest trends in malware and cyber crime, covering 53,000 incidents and 2,216 confirmed breaches. The report reveals that botnets are the most widespread, dangerous attacks to date. The number of botnet attacks reported was so numerous that all 43,000 breaches (mainly on financial data) were excluded from overall statistics and given a separate section of its own. With botnet breaches on the rise, Verizon's report confirms that monitoring network traffic is more important than ever.
