Hacking and malware remain the primary vectors for cybersecurity attacks, according to the new Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, and internet of things security is increasingly top-of-mind in the wake of a number of high-profile breaches late last year.
The 10th annual DBIR found that 62% of breaches relied on hacking, and 51% of them included malware. More than 80% of hacking-related breaches leveraged stolen and/or weak passwords.
