Cyber crime costs the UK economy 27 billion per year.
The first joint Government and industry report into the extent of UK cyber crime has revealed that it costs the nation £27billion annually.
The eight page report, published jointly by the Cabinet Office and Deltica shows that while cyber crime does have a considerable impact on citizens and
the Government, the biggest loser is UK business,
The largest threat is from intellectual property theft which accounts for one third of the value of all cyber crime. The hardest hit sectors are pharmaceuticals, chemicals,biotechnology, electronics and IT.
Almost as costly to the economy is espionage which impacts to the tune of more than seven billion annually.
By contrast, identity theft which is often reported as a major issue by the media, actually costs the nation less than 2 billion.
The report's conclusion is that an new Government service to promote more awareness of cybercrime is required to aid UK businesses. The report states that the service should also promote best practice in countering industrial espionage and should provide an effective tool for reporting cyber crime to the relevant authorities.
