The estimate that cybercrime will cost the global economy approximately USD 1.2 trillion annually in 2025 underscores the massive and still-underappreciated scale of digital threats. It reflects not just direct losses (fraud, theft, ransom) but also indirect damage (lost productivity, reputational harm, intellectual property theft, system downtime). While this projection comes from Cybersecurity Ventures and is echoed by industry reports, the true value is likely uncertain—many incidents go unreported, and cost attribution is complex. Nonetheless, even if the actual figure is a fraction lower, the magnitude highlights why governments, businesses, and citizens must prioritize stronger cyber defence, better reporting, and coordinated policy.
