Hacked or Phished

I really wish people would learn the difference between Hacked and Phished.


eg. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-21879230#
Hackers attack several BBC Twitter accountsSeveral BBC Twitter accounts, including its weather, Arabic and Radio Ulster feeds were hijacked by a group calling itself Syrian Electronic Army earlier.


Hacking means you have no control over what happens eg a java vulnerability....Phished...means you're a bloody idiot for clicking on something you shouldnt have and then being too stupid to look at the url when you entered the password etc.
