Kaspersky's figures are backed by estimates from the Ukraine-based Computer Crime Research Centre which says the total amount of financial losses worldwide resulting from cybercrime exceeded $411bn at the end of last year.
411 billion in *losses*?? Does anyone else have issues with this figure? To give some perspective, that is more than the reported 2003 earnings of Citigroup, Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo, Prudential Financial, Merrill Lynch, American Express, Bank One Corp, Hartford Financial, and US Bancorp all *COMBINED* with about 10 billion to spare.
