The average age according to the study was 65. So I'm sure some in their 80s and 90s were included, but many were younger. The most recent number (about 10 years old), I could find for the UK showed the risk of death from any cause for people 65-74 was just over 2% (1 in 42). So the numbers certainly point to a cause and effect relationship.

This - I will sometimes use an old easy to remember password on sites that I don't really care about. Even if I get compromised, there is no personal information there (maybe it's connected to my e-mail sometimes). Oh no - someone got access to old throw away Reddit account that I used twice!

I usually do the courteous thing and reply to the sender - there have been 3 that I have gotten off an on for a few years. I usually reply and copy the likely intended recipient if I can figure it out. One time the sender replied back (to both of us) and was rather snippy saying it wasn't her fault. I found the info on a facebook page that she said used, turned out she was wrong - so I pointed it out kindly along with a link back and wished them luck at the event they were planning. The intended recipient was so thankful that she sent me a $10 starbucks e-gift card. So do good and you might occasionally get rewarded.
