A relative killed herself after her therapist was hacked[1] and the data was leaked. If that is inconsequential, I do not know what isn't.

A single suicide due to a massive data breach is, unfortunately, completely inconsequential. Especially if we consider what social media does to teenagers without needing any data breaches.
