In Trend Micro's new report, dubbed "Understanding Data Breaches," the security firm explores who is most often targeted in data breaches, how they take place, and what happens to data once it leaves corporate networks.

Over the past 10 years of data breach history, 41 percent of breaches were caused not by hacking, but by device loss. Because of a particularly bad record of holding track of its devices, the healthcare industry has been responsible for more breaches than any other sector this decade, according to Trend Micro's analysis of the past 10 years of data breaches -- as catalogued by the nonprofit Privacy Rights Clearinghouse.

UK organizations were hit with on average 40% more targeted attacks than their European counterparts last year, but ended up paying far less, according to new research from Trend Micro.

A high-level hacking group dubbed Iron Tiger has been observed stealing trillions of bytes of confidential data from the United States government, US defense contractors and related companies in the United States and abroad, security company Trend Micro reports in its research paper posted Tuesday, Operation Iron Tiger: Exploring Chinese Cyber Espionage Attacks on U.S. Defense Contractors.

According to a Trend Micro report, the group – known as “Emissary Panda” or “Threat Group-3390 (TG-3390)” – dates back to 2010 when it was observed focusing on political targets and government agencies in China, the Philippines and Tibet.
