The damages caused by US agencies* are easily underestimated. It's not just the equipment rendered useless and data lost due to their software. It's also the millions of hours spent by IT departments worldwide battling with infected computers and securing not yet infected computers. Damages are easily in the tens of billions of USD.

And then there is the loss of credibility of the US government and the companies involved.

*Edit: FBI changed to US agencies.
