Not really scared of the notion of the lone hacker who tries to stalk you on the internet nor this conspiratorial idea of governments watching you. What really bothers me is companies who gather this data and the sell it on to direct marketing people who seems to know lots more about you than you'd like. People who argue "if you have nothing to hide then why are you bothered" are fools. Privacy laws should be strengthend but Governments are getting more into our business on the back of this "war on terror" rubbish.
Another increasing prob is identity fraud where criminals get enough info about you to open a bank account in your name and then ruin your credit rating as they make off with the banks money. hehe don't know what the answer is....
