I respectfully disagree.  This is a little sensationalist I must say.

I wonder if other industries allow over hyping their issues to this degree?

Damage caused by cybercrime is estimated at $100 billion annually, said
Kilian Strauss, of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe
(OSCE).

"These criminals, they outsmart us ten, or a hundred to one," Strauss told
Reuters,
adding more internet experts were needed to investigate and tackle
cybercrime."
