"most hacker attacks are phishing attacks", while phishing is prevelant, password guessing and spraying campaigns are far more common. I can show you the logs where we get thousands of login attempts daily, we don't receive anywhere near that volume of phishing attempts. Obviously hacking isn't just "breaching a systems firewall". What does that even mean? Reverse shells are incredibly common to bypass inbound firewall rules. "decrypting passwords", I assume you mean cracking the hash. Passwords are not stored encrypted.

I was using movie type of language to illustrate the ridiculousness of the image of hackers media has fed us. Kind of funny tho, how you try to break down my gibberish, to show off your expertise and thereby missed my entire point, which was that the type of hacking image media presents doesn't reflect reality most of the time and if you think the person writing that tweet is deflecting guilt you probably got the wrong idea of what being hacked means.

Ignore me, I was having a bad day. Good luck on your IT/security adventure and I wish you the best. Sorry for being a dick.
