So if someone steals your house keys it’s coz of your stupidity?There are different definitions for the term "hacker". I tend to favour the one where a person has used in-depth knowledge of computer systems to purposely gain access, bypassing security measures in the process. There's a level of sophistication to it meaning that to prevent it in future there's an ever increasing requirement to improve security measures and practices.
The other definition, the one you described in your analogy, is just stupidity on the part of the person owning the key.
Wow! talk about double whammy.
