Well, I disagree.

A person who loses an entire life's savings due to Internet identity
theft may end up hanging or shooting self.

Worms, that forwared document files in e-mail infected computer, have
already disclosed people's private medical / sex data to the public. You
could lose your job or school seat, if others find out you have Hepatitis-
C or HIV. Your life could be ruined.

Some people got killed during the big US blackout, which lasted almost
a day, instead of 15 minutes, because SCADA systems were blocked by
MSBlaster/LovSan traffic.

An innocent person, whose trojanized computer is hijacked by muslim
armed resistance for secret communication, may easily find him/herself
in a pit in Guantanamo for a few months at least, until he/she is
cleared. Not exactly healthy.

Regards, Tama Feher.
