That personal document could be life and death for some people. How do you determine what is the value of data being hacked. E.g. For a hospital if patient data is hacked it could mean life and death situation.
If, say, the mafia threatens to assassinate someone if a document is leaked and a hacker obtains and leaks it the hacker still didn't kill anyone - the hitman sent by th mafia is the killer. And regardless that this kind of situation seems very far fetched.
