Unfortunately, thanks to surveillance capitalism, everyone is "uniquely vulnerable". You can never know which of the billions of data points that make up your dossier could make someone target you. Your political views, your religion, your employer, your sexual preferences, your genetics, any of it, however inaccurate or outdated, can make you a target to someone and all that data never goes away.
Hostile foreign powers are a problem, but so are hostile domestic extremists along with a large population of the mentally ill who over the last century have gone from being abused to being ignored, which means that while most of the mentally ill are harmless, nobody is keeping an eye on the ones who aren't. Not even after they get repeatedly reported to authorities by concerned family members (Robert Card, Ethan Crumbley, Orlando Harris, etc).
