Trend Micro examined website defacement reports from 1998 to 2016 with machine learning technology to identify some long-term trends. Among the most common types of internet attacks is web defacement, where an attacker changes a victim's website to post a message. How are web defacements conducted and are there common trends? Those are some of the questions that a new study released on Jan. 22 by Trend Micro examines.

File inclusion vulnerabilities, SQL injections, and known vulnerabilities are the most common flaws leveraged by hacktivists who launch Web defacement campaigns. Trend Micro researchers dug into 18 years' worth of data to produce "A Deep Dive into Defacement: How Geopolitical Events Trigger Web Attacks." This report is the analysis of more than 13 million Web defacement reports against websites on multiple continents.
