Does Cybercrime Really Cost $1 Trillion?

http://j.mp/T3Mqax  (ProPublica) [scroll down on their page for article]

   "A handful of media stories, blog posts and academic studies have
    previously expressed skepticism about these attention-getting
    estimates, but this has not stopped an array of government officials
    and politicians from continuing to publicly cite them as
    authoritative. Now, an examination of their origins by ProPublica has
    found new grounds to question the data and methods used to generate
    these numbers, which McAfee and Symantec say they stand behind."
