Cosmic rays have been suspected of affecting an election in Belgium, brakes on Toyota vehicles, and possibly even the Samsung Galaxy Note 7's battery.
Cosmic radiation from exploding stars outside our solar system can cause electronics to malfunction. There are several instances when cosmic radiation was suspected to have a major impact on electronics, like throwing off the voting numbers during an important election in Belgium, and even causing braking issues in Toyota vehicles that led to a 2009 recall of over 9 million cars. Cosmic radiation is a concern, but it's well-managed in electronics today.
