Symantec Intelligence Report: January 2014

Symantec have published their Intelligence report that sums up the latest threat trends for January 2014.

Report highlights:
- The number of identities exposed in the last 12 months has passed 500 million. This is largely due to two large breaches, that each reported over 100 million identities exposed.
- Targeted attacks are up to their highest level since August of last year, after what appears to be average-to-low attack numbers over the last four months.
- In other news, spam and phishing rates are down slightly in January, while email virus rates are at their lowest levels since October of last year.
