hacked
Broke into digitally
Hacked has two main clusters of meaning.
From hack as rough cutting: something crudely chopped or shortened, or a person who is exhausted or fed up: I'm completely hacked after that shift.
From hack as unauthorized computer access: a system that has been broken into or compromised: My account got hacked.
In gaming and tech culture, hacked can mean cleverly modified or repurposed: a hacked router running custom firmware.
