Dont trust damage cost assessments in the news. Any time you hear - TopicsExpress



          

Dont trust damage cost assessments in the news. Any time you hear of a hack or DDOS attack, and the news quotes damages, do a little research and google average cost of ddos attack. So far, Ive researched estimated costs of $650/min to $20,000/min. While Im sure a DDOS results in real costs (sales, IT overtime, etc), most times it seems like they pull these figures out of their ...hats. It disgusts me when I hear of a simple hack, such as SQL injection, and some company claims damages in the hundreds of thousands (just an example; dont have an article in front of me). On these simple flaws, a single programmer can fix it in an evening, test it and deploy it by the next evening.
