I see your point and there is no contradiction here when we are speaking about risks associated with technology.

But I think that in the real world if someone is so upset on me that is willing and committed to spending time, money, knowledge just to get specifically my pictures/data and harm me in some way, has a very low chance to happen. Is more likely that I will be hit by a car or I will slip in the bathroom and smash my head on the floor.

A person who has the knowledge to hack me or a server to get pictures of me from public cameras, I think it has more important things to spend his time on than on an average Joe like me.

It's about a process, and to hack someone implies a purpose that makes that person a premeditated target for attack. The purpose is the keyword. How strong that purpose is so it would drive someone to hack me?

When a person becomes such target, the amount of data that is already out there makes everything a matter of how much money someone is willing to invest in finding everything about that particular target. Just for the fun of it? I doubt that.

That's why the hackers are using the method of encrypting the victim's data and ask for a ransom and not taking it and use it to name and shame. Simply it does not work. There are too many average Joe's on this planet.

If you are not a politician or a celebrity, then, in my opinion, no one cares how you look, what you do or how you do it.
And if you are a politician, a celebrity, etc then you can afford to pay for better security.

There are billions of cameras out there and hundreds of thousands already hacked, available for be seen by anyone already.

What's the overall impact?

For a particular person who has the misfortune to be a victim of some malicious attack, the impact can be very high emotionally, financially and socially, I fully agree with that.

But all these incidents, in the bigger picture, are no more harmful than the car accidents are to the car producing industry.

The age of privacy and anonymity in the sense we know it and understand it today will change and we will adapt to it as we always do with all changes in our environment.

I've found that considering by default that everyone is watched all the time, then is easier to pass over it and enjoy all the technological opportunities without fear.

Anyway, thank you for the interesting debate and the opportunity to exchange opinions!
