Targeted Attacks 10 Times More Profitable Than Mass Campaigns

[MrBrian]

From http://darkreading.com/advanced-thre...campaigns.html:

It costs cybercriminals five times as much to pull off a targeted attack than a mass attack, but a targeted attack yields 10 times the profit, according to data in a report published by Cisco Systems today.

Report is available at hxxp://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/vpndevc/ps10128/ps10339/ps10354/targeted_attacks.pdf.
