Unless it doesn't.  If the attacker knows you and knows you have "a
lot" of money in the bank and/or your banking habits, or knows that
you are someone who has access to, say, a large number of people's
credit card info, and has reason to believe that data is on your
laptop, you may be specifically targeted.  The latter is unlikely for
most of us, but I suspect most of us could fall into the former
category.
