Americans fear hacking more than burglary, murder or any other crime?

It bothers me too (a lot), but the biggest exposure is your info out in big data (which you can't control), not your PC-smartphone-tablet being hacked (which you have more control over). Most helpful tips focus on the latter.

Americans Are More Afraid of Being Hacked Than Getting Murdered

This actually strikes me as pretty rational, as most of us are much more likely to be the victim of credit card or computer hacking than physical violence. I wonder if "identity theft" is included in computer hacking, because I actually fear that more than someone hacking directly into my computer.
