Only a very small percentage but for good reason. It was usuallyt o obtain evidence to prove the mens rea of the targets involved and obtain evidence of a crime.
Which feeds both aspects of people’s belief that while bad things can happen, they won’t happen to them (”I have nothing to hide” and “who even knows I exist”). Which is why people connect more and more of their life online without worry about the consequences, because honestly for 90+% of us, there won’t be any.
