In the 15+ years have been many hours/day every day on the internet I never been hacked. I never meet someone who was hacked. The only time I knew I was hacked was in professional environment with a not enough secure server. And it lasted for month without any personal or professional ill effect. It's just anecdotal evidence and must be taken as that. But I suspect you have less chance to have bad consequence from hacking , than to die in a terrorist attack or to be bitten by a shark. Fear is powerful weapon. And is used a lot for commercial purpose. That said, uninstall Flash all you want. It's just cool to play fun little time-waster game so you wont loose anything drastic.
