You weren't hacked because you lacked space-age network defenses. Nor because cyber-gurus picked on you. It's far simpler than that

Security/Privacy?

The problem is that even if you follow security best practices yourself someone else will most likely leak your details.

I was just looking through the list of major data breaches listed on Wikipedia and I counted almost a dozen breaches listed there where I have been informed by the companies themselves that they lost my details or my details were listed on Have I been Pwned.

(And these are just the ones I am aware of)
