Everyone is already at risk... with the possible exception of hermits on mountains, etc. It is still advisable to take precautions, e.g. lock the doors and windows, to reduce the risk.

'As far as letting you know my name or giving you my fingerprints or whatever else you demand, no I don't think so. There is more going on in this net than just misc.fitness.weights. I'm involved in the net war in alt.religion.scientology. Those cultists have so far raided 4 of their net critics on bogus copyright violation charges, and in one case they placed a large amount of LSD on the toothbrush of a person who was raided, a couple of days before he was to undergo a video deposition. In my city they have been convicted of several crimes, including infiltrating the municipal, provincial, and federal police forces. No, I will not give out my name just to satify your curiousity. Deal with it.' -- a USENET posting Judith Donath of MIT Media Labs found, see above link
A quote from the Night Stalker episode 'Burning Man', just because I believe it is well-worded: 'They're in the news every day -- warnings about what you should eat, drink, breathe, think. In the modern world, fear of death isn't a distant anxiety reserved for old age; it's daily life. The ordinary no longer offers comfort -- not when death can come any time, from any thing.'
