This nothing but a Fake/inflated estimates by the Internet Security Product companies which is meant to push their products in the market. Dont get stunned by the amount mentioned in the article because it is all fake. These companies want to sell their products at any cost so they publish this kind of news time and again so that all the internet users should get scared and purchase their products. There are few things if taken care of then these products are not required at all. But instead of letting people know about those measure these companies will use scare tactics and will make internet users to purchase their highly priced useless software.
Why can't you write on avoiding the various cybercrimes than reporting how much the losses are...create a social awareness than telling how much we are victims...
your article in turn encourages the culprits to fix more targets for 2011 and 2012...now read the title again...
I am also victim of cyber crime and lost my Rs 20000 last year and I also experienced that bank and police totally ignoring this crime. that's reason crime is running successfully.

2 of my colleagues themselves lost 1500 crore together in online lottery frauds and to Nigerian scamsters. 34200 crore can easily be a realistic figure or even more.
