What is unknown is the number of successful attacks that were not detected. This is a growing problem, because the undetected attack is the most valuable for the attacker. The longer a hacker can maintain an undetected penetration, the more valuable that hack is. An undetected penetration enables the hacker to steal stuff and monitor activity. A good example of this was the recently discovered penetration of the computer systems at the retail chain TJ Maxx. This went undetected for at least 18 months, and data on over 46 million credit card accounts was stolen.
