A huge global cyber-attack could cost the world economy $121.4bn, according to a new report by one of the world’s biggest insurers, Lloyd’s of London. In its report, which it has co-written with Cyence, a cybersecurity analytics platform provider, the insurer suggested that the direct economic impacts of cyber events lead to a wide range of potential economic losses. If a major cloud service was disrupted, the losses could range from $4.6bn for a large event to $53.1bn for an extreme event, it said.
