Of the 148 companies surveyed for the study "Cybercrime Survey 2001," two thirds have been the victim of a "serious" cybercrime in the past year, said CBI spokesman Roger Davidson. The CBI defined a serious cybercrime as a case of hacking of a company's computer system, a virus attack or credit card fraud.
