How to use hack in a sentence?

  1. Frank Kelley:

    It's incredibly important, and to be honest... just the threat, the thought that somebody could hack into a system and... turn that against you, that becomes pretty frightening.

  2. Kristin Smith:

    It's certainly not the type of publicity that we want for Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency, but it's really important to realize that this was a hack and the crime is the hack, it's not the fact that Bitcoin was the desirable prize of this attack.

  3. Adam Schiff:

    This is someone whos likely to exaggerate the dangerous impulses of the president towardbelligerence, his proclivity to act without thinking, and his love of conspiracy theories, and Ill, you know, just add one data point to what you were talking about earlier, John Bolton once suggested on Fox News that the Russian hack of the DNC [Democratic National Committee] was a false flag operation that had been conducted by the Obama administration.

  4. Seth Rosenblatt:

    Public Wi-Fi is fraught with security problems. Commonly named networks, like ATT or Starbucks Wi-Fi, are very easily spoofed to capture your logins, security on public Wi-Fi is generally low,so even if it is a legitimate network, it’s often easier to hack into than private Wi-Fi.

  5. James Scott:

    The most successful attacks by more sophisticated hackers tend to be strategically “indirect”. Why risk attacking Target directly and getting caught. Just hack the HVAC contractor and use their access to Target’s network
