Holiday shopping season is popular time for launch of sophisticated attacks, RSA study says

The upcoming holiday shopping season could be prime time for attackers who hope to catch enterprises at their weakest moments, according to a study published this week.
According to a new survey of 1,100 retail companies conducted by the Ponemon Institute and sponsored by RSA, daily revenue surges by an average of 55 percent during the holiday season. If a retail site is hacked or disabled, average losses may amount to as much as $500,000 per hour, or $8,000 per minute.
