"The Verizon 2011 Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) is the third annual report issued by Verizon and the U.S. Secret Service (USSS). It covers incidents of data breaches that occurred in calendar year 2010 and comprises incidents investigated by Verizon's professional services division and those reported to the USSS. The report's tally of stolen records is a oft-cited benchmark of the prevalence and seriousness of cyber attacks.
That number has been on a steady - even precipitous decline since the first Verizon DBIR in 2008. After peaking in that first year at 361 million, the number of total records compromised dropped to 144 million in 2009 and just 4 million in 2010. That leaves Verizon in the uncomfortable position of having to try to explain - rather than merely interpret - the results of its own report." (ThreatPost)
