So it seems like it ends up being a moral dilemma:

If a software issue causes for example a data breach, it could cause lots of people to experience mild annoyances, like time wasted on changing passwords, money lost through more effective scamming attempts, etc..

If we compare an actual life lost in an accident with lots of people losing some hours/days from their lives, when can we say they are an equal loss?

1 people = 100 people losing 1 year?

How about if the person is your family member?

This gets waaay too complicated to resolve rationally..
