With regard to web application security statistics, there isn't a
great deal of information to pull from. Especially anything recent.
These may help though.
This Register story has stats pointing to a zone-h report
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/04/27/zone-h_defacement_survey/
The Real World Web Hacking URL's page is a resource for "web
application security" related
stories.

I'm planning to do some marketing of my pen testing service and I'm
after some stats to use with it. Things like number of sites hacked
each
year or number of sites suspected of being insecure. Also stuff like
cost of fix/clean up after an attack would be good.
The target audience isn't going to be computer specialists so I would
like the stats to come from sites or references which general
public can
associate with, e.g. "A report by the BBC says that..." rather than "a
report by 0b5cur3 Hack3r 5ite says...".
UK rather than US would also be good.
Can anyone recommend any sources?
