The Verizon 2019 Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) was published just after midnight today. This is the 12th edition since its launch in 2008, and the most extensive to date, with 73 contributors and an analysis of 41,686 security incidents including 2,013 confirmed breaches.

Purely from its detail and breadth of coverage, DBIR has become the breach bible for the security industry. Verizon does not speculate on the meaning of the data it provides, leaving that to independent security analysts.

Asked to highlight two particular trends exposed by the 2019 DBIR, Pinto suggested a 'flight to ease' by the attackers, and an increasing phishing focus on senior management (which may be two aspects of the same trend).
Talking about the business email compromise (BEC) threat, Pinto commented, "why bother hacking companies when we can just email the CFO and get him to send us money?"
