If at all possible, organizations like to keep details of the breaches they suffered under wraps, mostly to safeguard their reputation and to minimize legal trouble.

As Verizon Enterprise Solutions' Clare Ward recently noted, this plays to the advantage of cybercriminals, enabling them to reuse successful breach tactics time and time again on new, unsuspecting organizations. That's why the company chooses to share stories about different breaches its Threat Research Advisory Center team was called to investigate.
