“Cyber crime is a growth industry. The returns are great, and the risks are low,” says the Center for Strategic and International Studies. “We estimate that the likely annual cost to the global economy from cyber crime is more than $400 billion. A conservative estimate would be $375 billion in losses, while the maximum could be as much as $575 billion. Even the smallest of these figures is more than the national income of most countries and governments and companies underestimate how much risk they face from cyber crime and how quickly this risk can grow.”
