Hacking, witchcraft, radioactivity. They all have in common that they are something you can't see, hear, or smell coming at you. Thus they are anxiety inducing...

Radioactivity is probable, but not likely. Locally we were advised not to eat sheep for about a decade because of ~an incident~ to do with radioactive material.
Hacking is something that is getting more and more likely by the day. First, WannaCry infects the world over and knocks out a hospital system. What's next? Pacemakers going offline? Insulin pumps being hacked? Hell, cars can already be hacked from a distance, internet connected cars aren't raising a risk factor by much, aside from it lengthening the distance at which you can do the hack.

In two of those cases, some level of anxiety is justifiable.

Well, probably. Unless you are stupid enough to plug your car to the internet.
