No, Sean Spicer, no one claims that the elections were "rigged"

5. It's not hacking

Hacking requires technical skill to exploit an unpatched vulnerability in a computer system. Phishing requires users click on a bad link or something else.

The difference is in how you protect your system. Hacking can be limited through technical means, firewalls, software patches etc. Preventing a user from being social engineered is a lot harder. It's hard to convince users to not click on a link in an email and give their password to some random person.

What's ridiculous is people conflating the two. For example look at the original Guccifer who tried to claim he hacked the Clinton email server. What he actually did was social engineer people like Colin Powell and Sydney Blumenthal which he did with an old computer and a cell phone. Not exactly the tools of a real hacker.
