Just me or frequency of hacks going up?

Can anybody share data on the frequency of cyber attacks? Wonder if it's just getting more press these days or if we're significantly more at risk.

Both.

The lack of security at lets say mac forums/ adobe/ inputs.io is unrealistically common.

Do you remember the Playstation network hack a while back? That was well reported

Things get hacked every day but the ones where hundreds of thousands of users information is involved that makes for a juicy tweet/ story = more clicks to whatever is reporting it

More disclosure as far as anyone can really tell.

I guess its a metric on its own just not a very good one.

Are you basing this on a review of your servers' logs or because of things you read on the web?
Read on the web. Completely perception based. Was hoping someone might have some data to share.
