Actually, yes. I work in the IT field. If I described directly typing an unlinked URL into the address bar as a hack to any of my peers, they'd properly laugh right in my face.


If someone tried entering passwords on a login and were able to eventually log in, many would call this a "hack" or someone "Hacked" the account.

That's a hack. More specifically, it is called a brute force attack and it also happens to be illegal.

Everything I've seen thus far indicates that didn't happen in this case.
