It's anthropologic.
A common trope in stories is that to gain any kind of scary access you need to find a "hacker" who'll do that, but it's at the same time some obscure power that nobody has, not even the company they are "hacking" into.
People still feel as if such news were something unique and couldn't be repeated just like that, easily, with them and things they use. There's nothing unique with computers.
