Final Word

How often are there security problems?

  • Dain Gary, manager of the Computer Emergency Response Team, reports that his group logs three to four security breaches on the Internet each day. In 1993 there were 773 reported intrusions. I don't have the 1994 numbers, however, Gary expected a 50% increase over the 1993 number. The real numbers are probably even higher.

Internet World, February 1995

Notes:

I think these are very low numbers.
