There is no FBI research to support the "70% Lie". Probably never has been and never will be. No one can cite the "original research" because it doesn't exist. It is myth. It is urban legend.And how do you expect the FBI to produce data on their research of active/closed criminal intrusions? What data do YOU have to counterpoint the 70% statistic?
I think Verizon Business's recent report (based on over 500 actual data breach incidents) is fairly credible. I'd certainly believe that insiders racked up 70% or more of the financial loss, even if they aren't 70% of the incidents. The executive summary: http://www.verizonbusiness.com/about/news/displaynews.xml?newsid=25135&mode=vzlong&lang=en&width=530 87% would have been preventable via reasonable security measures. 75% were discovered by a third party, not the victims. 66% involved data the victims didn't even know was on the system.
