Most 'hacking' of personal accounts is just phishing & brute force... Not exactly something that requires a ton of technical knowledge.

95% of "hacking" is social engineering. It's not that they are smart, it's that people are exceptionally dumb and click on random things.

That's technically hacking facebook. I tell clients all the time when they ask "what do I need to do to keep from getting hacked?" 1/2

Technically, or I guess by common definition isn't tricking the user called phishing? Where hacking is more like tricking the machine.

Phishing's acquiring the login, hacking's USING it (illegally) technically speaking.
