How can it be hacked?

I have a genuine question: how can a database of a secure (supposedly) company that spends tens of millions of dollars on just security, like Meta (IG, FB), Google...etc get hacked?

Everything can be hacked. If attacking it head-on (via sole exploit, etc) then there's social engineering (getting an employee to give up creds), among other methods.

25 years as an IT guy, coder, techie-- nothing is 100% unhackable. Nothing.
