This paper presents a comparative survey of cyberthreat and attack trends starting from 2010 till date Cyber security breaches are constantly on the rise with huge uncertainty and risks The trend is causing rife globally because of its consequences to national security and economy With diverse interests and motivations for various categories of threats and attacks we carried out a comparative survey and analysis of security breaches to unravel the patterns and predict what will shape future security challenges The diversity of attacks and growing state actors involvement without any sort of regulation is making cyber weapons attractive to the states States are leveraging the anonymity and attribution flaws to hit hard on perceived adversaries thereby complicating the cyber security equation
