Therefore, whilst there is no robust estimate of the total cost of cyber crime to the UK economy it is likely to be billions.</p><p>The Economic and Social Costs of Crime report (Home Office, 2018) estimated a cost of £1.1bn from computer misuse incidents against individuals in the financial year 2015/16. However, it should be noted that this estimate is based upon experimental statistics and should be considered as a partial estimate as it excludes some key costs, such as the costs to businesses.</p> answering member constituency Wyre and Preston North answering member printed Mr Ben Wallace question first answered 20/11/2018 17:21:58 answering member 1539 label Biography information for Mr Ben Wallace
