Check CERT [ www.cert.org ] for recent network attack trends and most commonly exploited vulnerabilities, et cetera. Check the Attrition defacement mirror statistics [ www.attrition.org ] for a general overview of the .com/.net/.gov/.edu/.kr et cetera. These statistics are for general knowledge, and should not be considered factual, however interesting they may be.
Just curious why you would consider the attrition.org stats "not factual"? The real disclaimer is that the stats cover security incidents where web pages were defaced. Obviously many intrusions are carried out and the web server untouched, all of which would fall outside the scope of the Attrition Mirror and its stats. We verify all defaced pages we mirror before putting them up on the mirror. This leaves a small margin for error for mirrored sites before Jan of 99, but all data on the mirror is accurate to the best of our knowledge and research. While it is not thorough and leaves a small margin for error, I certainly don't think you can say "These statistics .. should not be considered factual."
