This article has very interesting statistics. Based on the study of abandoned websites owned by leading global corporations hammers home the point that old web applications need to be properly mitigated or retired. Otherwise, these resources often haunt a firm long after they have been forgotten. 

Key findings:

70% of FT 500 can find access to some of their websites being sold on Dark Web

92% of external web applications have exploitable security flaws or weaknesses

19% of the companies have external unprotected cloud storage

2% of external web applications are properly protected with a WAF

Every single company has some non-compliances with GDPR
