2008 Data Breach Investigations Report (Verizon Business Risk Team)


Four Years of Forensic Research. More than 500 Cases. One Comprehensive Report.
A study conducted by the Verizon Business RISK Team.


Executive Summary
Data breaches. You’ve gleaned all you can from the headlines; now you have access to information directly from the investigator’s casebook. The 2008 Data Breach Investigations Report draws from over 500 forensic engagements handled by the Verizon Business Investigative Response team over a four-year period. Tens of thousands of data points weave together the stories and statistics from compromise victims around the world.

Introduction
In a real sense, this report is a “post-mortem” examination of hundreds of data breach victims. Just as the forensic scientist seeks clues to the sequence of events surrounding a crime, the cause of death, and the identity of suspects, the Verizon Business Investigative Response team is focused on examining evidence of computer crime. Common to investigations in both the physical and cyber worlds is a dependence on cold, hard facts. Building a credible case often requires the collection of heaps of data.
To that end, the 2008 Verizon Business Data Breach Investigations Report integrates a vast amount of factual evidence from forensic investigations over the last four years. The study is unique in that it offers an objective, first-hand view of data breaches directly from the casebooks of our Investigative Response team. Tens of thousands of data points weave together the stories and statistics from compromise victims around the world. We have attempted to interpret their tales and it is our hope that your organization will learn from these findings and thereby avoid their end.
