Generally if you are not a target of interest by cyber criminals, you may not experience this kind of problem. If they believe it is worth their try, then you will find how vulnerable your computer systems are. Hackers may have stolen your personal information but determined that you are not a lucrative target. So you may be compromised but not affected.

However, this kind of things tend to catch up with people if left unattended. The computer hacking is a lucrative industry which is very competitive. Their legion is growing, and so many new arrivals may decide they will go after lower priority targets with small return, but if they target enough number of them, they can make decent money.
