Correct me if I'm wrong, but hacks like the WannaCry ransomware attack of 2017 don't even require any user input. They simply require that you haven't updated your computer. The reason so many organizations (including schools and hospitals) got hit with that attack despite Microsoft already having released a patch for it months earlier was because they didn't update their computers.
