All I can say (as someone who both gets these reports and works to update them in GIMP), is that I've never seen one that says "I opened this file I downloaded in GIMP and it damaged my computer". It's always "In theory, if someone made this kind of change to a file, it could possibly do this".

Thanks for your insight.
Just wondering: Could it be that typically the not so tech savvy people open such files, maybe even assuming it's something else? So they would not be so inclined to report it back to you, as they don't even know that such thing as a bug report is possible?
