MODERATORS
"Hacked" is a new and trendy way of saying "Am too dumb to use different passwords on different services or to enable two factor authentication. Also I will give my password to whoever asks for it."
Most hacker attacks are phishing attacks. The term "Hacking" isn't just used for breaching a systems firewall and decrypting the passwords in the command line, while wearing a black hoodie and a guy-fawkes-mask.
I know social engineering is the most frequent form of hacking but you missed the point here sadly. I was ridiculing the deflection of guilt... "My twitter got hacked", not "my stupid ass" or "account".
I get your point, I just don't think, not stating how it happened or degrading yourself by saying "my stupid ass got hacked" has to be with the intent of deflection of guilt. Being careless doesn't make you guilty, the person exploiting your carelessness is.
