unhackable

Cannot be compromised

Unhackable describes a computer system, device, or network that supposedly cannot be breached by hackers.

The term is often used in marketing or by overconfident engineers, though security experts consider it a red flag—no system is truly immune to attack: They claimed the database was unhackable, then it got hacked within a week.

The word invites skepticism.
