How much does cybercrime cost?

The story mentions the criminals spent about $25 per company scanned, which sounds small, but the potential gains are massive. The real cost isn't just the stolen cards; it's the damage to reputation, the cost of fixing security breaches, and the financial losses for victims. This particular campaign stole over 600,000 credit cards.
