Is hacking really a crime? If your computer was secure, then the hacker could not hack. So.. who's fault is it?

If your house were secure, the burglar couldn't have gotten in and stolen your stuff. or stabbed you. So... who's fault is it?

(There is a whole other can of worms regarding what counts as "hacking" and what doesn't, but without knowing what the "hacker" actually did we can't really discuss it in this case)

If it was a legitimate hack, a woman's computer has a way of shutting that down.
