Cybersecurity hacking estimates exaggerated for profit
http://j.mp/167eQG4 (Reuters)
"A $1 trillion estimate of the global cost of hacking cited by
President Barack Obama and other top officials is a gross
exaggeration, according to a new study commissioned by the company
responsible for the earlier approximation. A preliminary report being
released Monday by the Center for Strategic and International Studies
and underwritten by Intel Corp's (INTC.O) security software arm McAfee
implicitly acknowledges that McAfee's previous figure could be triple
the real number."
