Having worked in IR in various capacities in the past, I'd like to point out that many intrusions are not shared publicly. There are definitely targeted intrusions that begin with XSS or CSRF, you just don't hear about them.
As for the majority of hacks being something else I full on agree. I think phishing for credentials and malware installs, and leaked credentials in recent years, makes up the majority of intrusions. Many of those are opportunistic though and not necessarily targeted
- Eridrus 9y agoSo, I acknowledge there are breaches which started with XSS (Atlassian, etc), but even when you look at breaches that started with "client-side web bugs", how many of those are CSRF rather than XSS? Probably only a fraction, since they're shittier bugs. And then, from the pool of "client-side web bugs", how many involve browser bugs? This is just such a tail risk that it's hard to make myself care.
