Hacktivism survey

Bit9 released the results of a survey of IT Professionals which showed that hacktivism is now seen as the biggest security threat. 61% of those surveyed believe that their organization will be targeted by hacktivist groups like Anonymous.

As a side note, Imperva's analysis of the results notes that while 61% are concerned about hacktivism, only 4% were concerned about SQL injection - which happens to be one of the most prevalent web app vulnerabilities on the internet, one of the main avenues for hackers to extract data and  number 1 in the OWASP Top 10.
