You obviously were. Hacking is either a) psychological, or b) technological.
You either used a really short/easy to guess password (which someone either cracked or guessed), let some info slip that you shouldn't have (because let's face it, 80% of people's passwords have something to do with their life), or inadvertently downloaded some program/file you should not have. Because, you know, you're too smart to fall for anything.
It happens to everyone, and the only idiot is the person who doesn't want to admit that they goofed.
If you went to computer school, you should know that.
And I'm sure 99.9% of the legitimate hackers/programmers out in the world would agree with me.
Sad thing is a lot of people fall for techniques used by script kiddies. I myself can't hack, nor can I program (as of yet), but it's not as difficult as rocket science to realize how these things work.
