Subject: Data theft and data leakage statistics

Hello,


I am looking for statistical information on data theft, and data leakage -
that are from well known sources. Does anybody know of any resource where I
can get this information from? 

Below is the type of information I am looking for


1)Looking for what percentage of employees take data with them when they
leave jobs

Percentage of data leakage through various devices i.e. USB, email etc

2)Percentage of data theft through other means i.e. hacking corporations to
steal data, and or using other methods to steal the data.

3)How much on a global level is lost annually to data theft and leakage

4) And any other statistical information relating to data theft and data
leakage would be good


Thanks


Kevin
