The "hack" in question was using credentials that should have been disabled once Matthew Keys was no longer employed by Tribune. Also, I don't believe Tribune Co was able to prove whether anyone outside of the company actually saw the altered headline before it was corrected. It's also interesting to follow how the cost to fix this "hack" (i.e. change the headline back and delete the credentials that should have already been deleted) kept going up over the course of the trial. Initially under $5,000, then $5,000 so that the FBI can get involved, then eventually $929,977.00 [0].
