> Having a Hot Chips article with a cheekier title is not something we normally do, but we saw this slide. In terms of world economies, cybercrime now ranks between Germany and China in GDP according to Microsoft’s chart at just over $9T in 2024, and expected to be over $10T in 2025.

So they claim that the damage caused by cybercrime is 8.7% of global GDP (around $115T)? This is hardly believable.
