A giant sucking sound called insecurity
The world spent $166 billion battling viruses, spyware and recovering from hacking attacks last year, according to a mi2g study.
To place this into comparison, we would have needed the entire country of Denmark or the Czech Republic working on battling computer insecurity, based on the size of the gross domestic products.
