Has Russian malware lead to loss of life, yes. The effects of the Ukrainian border patrol and orphan database wiper viruses. Russian malware pinpointing evacuating refugees for murder. Wiping orphan identifications so they can't escape the Mariupol, killing many in the theater they sheltered in. Wiping border control to the point they operated on pen and paper, slowing evacuations leaving some to freeze to death desperate to flee. Luring of humanitarian aid workers through surveillanceware and misinformation leading to kidnapping and ransom payments with cryptocurrency. Targeting refugees in Europe for surveillance, harassment and intimidation. No digital ID, no cash, no credit cards. What happens when cyberwar affects everyday lives.
