FBI Computer Survey of CyberCrime

Thanks to the Computer Security Institute (CSI), we have some pretty good answers to that question.

Please read below for highlights from the 2005 CSI/FBI Computer Crime and Security Survey, based on responses from 700 U.S. corporations, government agencies, financial and medical institutions, and universities. This is our 10th annual survey in the information security field and, after reading it, we urge you to report to us any and all computer intrusions your company may experience.

1. Total financial losses from attacks have declined dramatically. Down 61% on a per-respondent basis from last year, but still reportedly $130M. What kinds of attacks? Virus attacks are #1; unauthorized access is #2; theft of proprietary information #3; and denial of service attacks a distant #4. Coalition 2oo6 - FBI Computer Survey of CyberCrime
