unexpectedly the cyber is falling
imf says rising risk of extreme losses from cyber incidents an acute threat to micro financial stability last October Anne neuberger America's top cyber official
a dire warning cybercrimes the world more than 23trn by 2027 up from 8.4trn in 2022 the imf noted that
cyber attacks have doubled since the COVID 19 pandemic cyber incident is increasing said an acute threat to micro financial stability is the economic impact of cyber attacks data collected by tom johansmeyer of the university of Kent
a former senior executive at verisk an insurance data firm suggests the truth is more complicated in analysis binding hook a website focussing on cyber issues
Mr johnsmayer cosiders the case of notpetya a Russian attack on Ukraine in 2017 which inadvertently spread around the world causing more than 10 bn worth of damage Mr johnsmayer by the standard of natural disasters serve as one of the useful benchmark
in 2002 hurricane Ian caused 10 times the damage in Florida hurricane Katrina caused nearly 20 times as much the wild fires that raged in California between 2017 and 2021 probably cost more than 117bn annually a pinprick in comparison
as America's government claimed at the time the most destructive and costly cyber attacks the sobig virus in 2003 and mydoom attack a year later when inflation the economic impact of major cyber incidents around 92 percent of total economy losses from cyber catastrophes came before 2009 notes Mr johnsmayer who included incidents that cost more than 800 million a significant number of victims his estimates define economic damage the bulk of losses tend to be caused by loss of productivity he says in 2003 a staggering 110 billion real time looses owing to better security
the big attacks that have occurred since appear to buck the trend a ransomware attack on change healthcare a critical node in the American health care system in february a devastating impact 2bn reckons a relatively sum a separate attack on moveit a widely used file transfer service probably cost 1 bn the big question acknowledges Mr johnsmayer
looses could get massive in aggregate and estimates that ransom ware for instance
cost 400 to 500 million per year others are sanguine the constant drip of the accretive loss across economy contributes to staggering losses says chris krebs director of America's cyber security
and infrastructure security agency this attacks quantify precisely fbi estimates that potential in 2003 a sum higher than the previous year by the standard of natural disasters
