Large scale, corporate cybercrime resulting in the loss of billion of dollars worldwide is escalating dramatically according to this recent New York Times article.

Documenting key information associated with the growing number of computer crimes is proving difficult as companies require anonymity when reporting incursions to either government agencies or private firms collecting such data.
