The hacking of Podesta's emails were absolutely a cybersecurity issue. Spamming facebook and other social media sites with fake accounts is absolutely a cybersecurity issue - in the case of Facebook using a fake account is an unauthorized use of their platform.
There was a large social component to it, as is the case with most large cybersecurity breaches.
