While we will never see the end of generalized mass attacks, the real damage is being done through highly targeted attacks. I will discuss why targeted attacks are so effective and economically advantageous to the attacker and why that trend is likely to continue. After considering several examples I will provide some suggestions for countermeasures against this strategy.
