Yesterday Semantic Corp. released the results of its Norton study about Global Cyber Crime which calculates the cost of global cybercrime: $114 billion annually and More Than One Million Victims a Day.
The report shows very interesting points that to be noted..
- Cybercrime costs the world significantly more than the global black market in marijuana, cocaine and heroin combined ($288 billion)
- Million+ Victims every day: Two thirds of online adults (69 percent) have been a victim of cybercrime in their lifetime. Every second 14 adults become a victim of cybercrime

“There is a serious disconnect in how people view the threat of cybercrime,” said Adam Palmer, Norton Lead Cybersecurity Advisor. “Cybercrime is much more prevalent than people realize. Over the past 12 months, three times as many adults surveyed have suffered from online crime versus offline crime, yet less than a third of respondents think they are more likely to become a victim of cybercrime than physical world crime in the next year.
And while 89 percent of respondents agree that more needs to be done to bring cybercriminals to justice, fighting cybercrime is a shared responsibility. It requires us all to be more alert and to invest in our online smarts and safety.”
