Re: Not Surprising
Very true. I think much of the changes deal with trend data. As security professionals and vendors we compile it, then beef up security against the vectors that are most prevalent. Unfortunately, I think cybercriminals do the opposite. They see whats trending and pivot away from it to try and attain a greater level of success and anonymity.

Re: Not Surprising
What I thought was interesting about this data was that it showed non-DDoS attacks targeting banks and other financial firms. This is the really scary and dangerous stuff.

Not Surprising
Banks being targeted more than other sectors is understandable due to the data they store. Also, I can attest as to DDoS that this is also the case. I recently wrote my GSEC Gold paper on it based largely off RadWare's 2013/4 Report. And the two sectors most heavily targeted by DoS were government and financial.
