It would be interesting to know if the FBI or any other group can characterize how many computers are 0wn3d per minute. Then, of those computers, how many remain 0wn3d indefinitely? Marc
Trustcorps claims it has scientific and anecdotal resaerch supporting its conclusion that over three million computers are "owned" by malicious groups.
The FBI estimates a car is stolen every 27 seconds somewhere in the US. In 2000, FBI Uniform Crime Report statistics showed that 1,165,559 cars were stolen; with an estimated value of $7.8 Billion. Police apprehend less than 15% of all auto thieves.
