I got hacked!

You say something stupid online and everyone sees it. You lie and say a hacker took over your account so you can pretend you didn’t do it. It’s a cheap excuse and everyone knows it, but it works sometimes.

You mess up online and you blame a hacker instead of taking responsibility. It’s a lazy way out, but it’s good enough to save your dignity for a little while.

You say something online that makes you feel like a total idiot. You make up a story about a hacker to avoid getting roasted. It’s not true, but it’s way better than being called a moron.
