Protenus releases its Breach Barometer report for September

Posted on October 18, 2017 by Dissent

You can access their report here. Once again, we saw insider wrongdoing breaches taking a long time to discover. Hacking accounted for 50% of the 46 breaches we recorded for the month, and eight of the hacks also involved extortion demands. If you’re thinking, “That sounds like TheDarkOverlord,” give yourself a pat on the back. Yes, the 8 extortion-hacks were all by TheDarkOverlord.
