I think that people who scream "hacked" should have to disclose what their password was before they're taken seriously.

Or its their phone number which a lot of people seem to do for passwords. Or they wont tell because they use it with their bank too ;)

There was no hacking involved at all.  This is another case of poor password management by the users and not enabling MFA.
