IT Wire has a short note about the cost of (MS Windows) malware around the world.

The IBM report found number of breaches dropped as cyber criminals shifted their focus to ransomware and destructive attacks that lock or destroy data unless the victim pays a ransom.

IBM says that while the number of records breached was still significant, ransomware reigned in 2017 as attacks such as WannaCry, NotPetya, and Bad Rabbit caused chaos across industries without contributing to the total number of compromised records reported.

From IT Wire : Records breaches cost US$8bn, ransomware the main culprit
