Well public relations 101 is that you refer to anyone who breaches your security as “highly skilled “
I worked at one of the majors pre-Microsoft acquisition. “Highly skilled” is actually a relative comparison to the security teams at gaming companies, not an industry benchmark comparison. The bar for highly skilled plummets once you include things like social platforms, launchers, and telemetry.
A highly skilled hacker guessed that our admin password was "admin2019“
Wasn't the guy who hacked Rockstar a kid?
