In this day and age, cybersecurity is a very, very important aspect of digital life than many people are completely ignorant to until it is too late.

I think where funds are involved, security should be too. Which leads to the request for a dedicated cybersecurity board, which will feature discussion of cybersecurity from a personal to an enterprise level, which ultimately will prevent people from having their coins unwillingly sent from their wallets, and therefor is definitely relevant to Bitcoin.

I will update this thread with a lot of precedent when I am online next. Here are two very recent cases, one right here in bitcointalk:
Bitcoin Developer @lukedashjr's wallet was hacked
I've been hacked (Electrum 4.3.2)

I'd like to note that a lot of the time (maybe even more of the time), hacks are due to the user and their lacking of security knowledge/implementations. This discussion point seems to be very scattered and therefor becomes a solo journey for most. It would be very good for BitcoinTalk to become a place where people can not only discuss and learn Bitcoin & blockchain, but also how to protect their Bitcoins as well as increase their security from the infinite threats online today.
