"As it happens, cyberwar was a Washington preoccupation under President George W. Bush, too. Last year, his Director of National Intelligence Mike McConnell warned that a cyberattack on a U.S. bank 'would have an order of magnitude greater impact on the global economy' than September 11, 2001, and he compared the potential ability of cybercriminals to threaten the U.S. money supply to a nuclear weapon."

Well, except that estimates of damage from cyberattacks always seem to be about ten times higher than anyone can prove. It's almost like they take a fairly plausible number and multiply it by some unknown factor to come up with "impact on the global economy."
