Was listening to George Hotz, and he asked why anyone should be concerned about CAN bus hacks that take over control of your car? There's plenty of ways to mess with people that are easier, and nobody cares about you anyhow. Russian hackers are trying to make money, not drive people off the road.

I'm sure we'll see the first death by hacking in the news someday soon, but it will be in the news because it's uncommon. People will then panic about being hacked and killed instead of getting their weight below 300, or their diabetes under control.
