Here I collect some statistics related to computer crime and the like.
I have aggregated data from Attrition.org and Zone-H to chart developments in web
defacements in the '.de' TLD. The upper graph shows defacements per
month with the red line beeing the six month average. Results show
a steep incrase in Quantity while Quality (defacement of
high-profile Sites) is decreasing. The blue line indicates the
total number od .de - domains.
The lower graph shows the
actual risk of beeing tefaced in this particular month.
The most spectacular defacements where early on. In 1998 The Chaos Computer Club (in fact it wasn't tecnically defaced: their DNS server was 0wned and www.ccc.de was redirected) and two major TV stations where defaced. In 2000 thre was the last spectacular defacement hitting germanys biggest hosting Provider and its "high security computing center".

DISA did a series of
penetration tests on DoD systems in the 90ies. On 38.000
attempts, 24,700 penetrations were successfull, of these 988 were
detected and of these 268 where reported. This means roughly they
had a relation of 1:100 on penetrations of military systems.
I have created a drawing keeping the correct scale between the
different arrows.

I track obvious penetration attempts to a machine running a httpd daemon with a single domain and not nuch else. Th upper graph shows some detail while the lower graph is more aggregated and serves as a clear display of activity by automated network attack agents (e.g. Code red).
The green line are buffer overflows, yellow is Unicode traversal, root are attempts to reexploit previous penetration artifacts (root.exe), magenta are attempts to exploit misconfigurations or previous penetration artifacts (/c/ /d/) and blue are mail relaying attempts (formmail).

I try to keep track of Internet Size - whatever that means - with special regard for germany. Here are some resultes:

The Zentrale anlassunabhängige Recherche in
Datennetzen (ZaRD) is a Project by the german federal police
agency - Bundeskriminalamt (BKA)
searching the Internet for crimes. The BKA was so kind to give me
some statistical data on the work of ZaRD.

The Federal Polica Agency - Bundeskriminalamt (BKA) publishes
every year official crime statistics known as "Polizeiliche
Kriminalstatistik (PKS)". I have refined the data on Computer
Crime and the like.
