Researching Strategies for the topic - How has increased adoption of the Internet opened common users to cyberattacks

I selected a report from Verizon

Verizon. (2015).  2015 Data Breach Investigations Report retrieved from http://www.verizonenterprise.com/DBIR/2015/

  Verizon’s yearly Data Breach Investigations Report uses metrics from a variety of security companies to help others manage and prepare for cyber attacks.  The article is primarily written for the internal security teams at companies all over the world to allow them to understand the threat landscape and adequately prepare.  The report is also used by Security Companies as source of product features and the Media for coverage of this space.
    This report is one of a number of topics I could use to collect statistics on cyberattacks including sections on Victim Demographics and various attack types.  The statistics and trends shown in the report give a very good understanding of how the threat landscape has changed over the years
    While searching I used terms like Internet Data Breach.  With the number of news stories in the media covering this topic the search can generate quite a bit of background noise.  So I added .PDF which removed the various news stories.  I will need to repeat this, to locate additional reports on Internet adoption.  I will need these new stats to correlate with the Verizon stats to illustrate how increased Internet adoption has lead to increased cyberattacks.
