No, you have misinterpreted what I said. I was saying that, in cases where banks, e-commerce sites, etc, are "hacked", it's generally done by social engineering rather than technical means. ie the sites' security systems are not broken; logon credential are obtained by other means - phishing, fake phone calls, or whatever.
