In the Internet of Things vision, every physical object has a virtual
component that can produce and consume services. Such extreme
interconnection will bring unprecedented convenience and economy, but it
will also require novel approaches to ensure its safe and ethical use.

IEEE summary: Norton says that it calculates that a total of 431 million adults
living in the surveyed 24 countries have been cyber crime victims within
the past 12 months. This equates, it says, to 14 cyber crime victims
every second; 820 cyber crime victims every minute; or almost 50,000 per
hour. Some 74 million US residents were cyber crime victims last year, the report states. The Norton report also says that the direct cost of this cyber crime
activity was approximately $114 billion - with another $274 billion
in indirect costs related to lost time/productivity. This total of $388
billion "... costs the world significantly more than the global black
market in marijuana, cocaine and heroin combined ($288 billion).
