The Computer Security Institute (CSI) pre-released selected findings from its 2009 Computer Crime and Security Survey. The survey, now in its 14th year, found that average losses due to security incidents are down again this year (from $289,000 per respondent to $234,244 per respondent), though they are still above 2006 figures.
Respondents reported big jumps in incidence of:
password sniffing (Over 9 percent last year)
Web site defacement (Over 6 percent last year)
financial fraud (Over 12 percent last year)
denials of service (Over 21 percent last year)
malware infection (Over 50 percent last year).
