Perhaps there is more to hack? At least when I was 20 years old, the only thing to be hacked was the dial-phone, a paper phonebook and perhaps a fax. Social media didn't exist.
Having so many accounts where some stuff might (or might not) be important, folks get very sensitive to being "hacked". Or in other words, having a stranger break in and rummage through their underwear.
I remember on boring days reading the factual entries in the beginning of the phonebook. I remember it as a broad description of how the bell system worked and how to use it.
In the late 70s in a central Pennsylvania farmhouse that was some of the earliest technical documentation I ran into.
