Hacking implies a sophisticated attack.
Not saying either government didn't do it. Following paxys line of thought I would however agree that hacking is not the most likely explanation in how the private data was taken.
Social engineering is sometimes also described as an "hack" but I doubt that is what Bezos implies with the word.

- leetcrew 8y ago> Hacking implies a sophisticated attack to you and me, yes. probably also to Jeff Bezos. but to the general public (arguably the real audience here), hacking is anything between guessing someones weak password and sophisticated attacks like stuxnet.
- CloudNetworking 8y ago> Hacking implies a sophisticated attack. Depends on the audience I guess. The big majority of hacks are not sophisticated at all. There's also so many people that use it without an implication on the grade of sophistication. But one thing is true, we can't possibly know for certain his intentions by using that word :-) so these are just our opinions for now :-)
