“Our goal is to increase the awareness of cybercrime across the globe,” said Wade Baker, Verizon’s director of risk intelligence. “The more people we can touch through our computer forensics work, the better prepared we all are to fight cybercrime.”

According to the report, external attacks were involved in the vast majority of criminal breaches (98 percent). Malicious insiders were responsible for four percent, with that number including incidents where both insiders and external agents were involved. Business partners were responsible for less than one percent of the beaches.

The DBIR is now in its fifth year of publication, with the 2012 edition analyzing more than 174 million compromised records involved in 855 breach investigations.
