Symantec Corp’s annual Norton Report shows the cost of cybercrime in Australia plunged from US$1.65 billion last year to just over US$1 billion this year, as criminals skimmed smaller amounts in online fraud.

The average cost per victim was US$201 this year, compared to US$306 last year.

賽門鐵克的年度「諾頓報告」顯示，由於犯罪份子在網路詐騙案中詐騙得手金額較少，今年澳洲網路犯罪損失從去年的十六億五千萬美元，減少到略高於十億美元。

But where did this peculiar expression come from, and is there any truth to it? For centuries, tales have circulated about crocodiles weeping while devouring their prey.
