By the first six months of 2018, this had risen to an average of 520 indicators per bank - an increase of 151%. In the first six months of 2017, it found an average of 207 attack indicators per U.S. Based on this analysis, IntSights finds that financial organizations comprise the single most-attacked industry sector. An analysis ( PDF) focuses on two categories of 'attack indicators' found on the internet: company or customer data offered for sale in a black market, and phishing email target lists.

IntSights, founded in 2015, searches both the surface and deep web for this noise, and converts it into actionable intelligence. Such planning often leaves traces of noise across the internet. Others, especially the major breaches of major enterprises, are planned and executed with care. Some hacks are serendipitous events for skiddies who happen across a website with an easily exploitable common vulnerability. ![]()
