> I don't know what the catalyst for this was, but a lot of 20 years olds and younger seem to use the word hacked so casually.

It is a mechanism of shifting responsibility. If your password is "1234" and you gave it away to a totally legit MS support center employee that called you recently because MS has detected that your iPhone has a virus, then it is on you. But if North Korean hackers compromised your watch via elaborate hacking campaign to mine bitcoin on it, then it is "not your fault".
