How much monetary damage do hackers cause every year?

I’m searching for statistics with this for your school challenge but won’t be able to find every hard phone numbers.

It’s hard to figure out a tangible figure on the present moment to the global level even so the article underneath from CNET put up 2+ issue estimated it had been over $1Trillion (US).

In addition, for the united kingdom in THE NEW YEAR, CNET carries a separate article

You’ll note that you can find differences on what sort of cost can be calculated.For example, the latter article put up above involves Intellectual Building estimates which in turn covers something illegally downloaded (programs, music, etc) in addition to the standard phishing/fraud systems.

I honestly have no clue and that may be such a new touchy topic and forever changing stats.

But just think about this season with all the stuff that happened using the PSN Circle.

over 100million persons were put in place.77million ciritically put in place and similar to 36million people with potential loss in identity plus financial information.

there are not any tough numbers with this, since it could possibly vary a lot.just find a bunch of estimates and say “about $xxxxx”.
