Probably a hack, or at least some spearphishing. You can buy a lot of 0days when your budget is billions.

> Analyses using a more stringent definition of school phone bans (ie, requiring phones to be stored away and not carried on the student’s person) also yielded findings consistent with the main results

If anything, it appears the bans were associated with slightly worse mental health:

> In the full sample, the estimated postpolicy association was 0.65 (95% CI, 0.01-1.30; P = .05) for depressive symptoms, 0.21 (95% CI, −0.08 to 0.50; P = .16) for anxiety, 0.23 (95% CI, −0.12 to 0.59) for hostility, and −0.52 (95% CI, −1.08 to 0.03; P = .06) for mental well-being.

> Although a small number of estimates were suggestive of worse outcomes before multiple testing correction, none remained statistically significant after prespecified correction. Results were similarly null in gender-stratified analyses.

Ah, my numbers were pretax. I agree investing has better tax treatment (close to zero if you "buy, borrow, die"!)

The crypto-theft angle seems more typical of China/NK/Russia to me. (China has some history of hardware supply-chain attacks). But without evidence we're simply speculating.

Indeed, it seems quite difficult for this methodology to control for "nuclear plants are near other nasty industrial things":

> While a broad set of confounding factors with distant relationship to cancer are included in the model, sources of carcinogenic pollutants are inexplicably missing. NPPs tend to be located in industrialized and densely populated regions to minimize cost of transmission. Other industries, particular chemical and petrochemical plants are well established sources of carcinogens, yet they are not considered as a confounding factor. Occupational hazards are also excluded from the model.
