Usage Notes:

In Russian, "взломанный" is the more precise and formal translation for "hacked" in cybersecurity contexts, directly corresponding to unauthorized access. Use "хакнутый" for informal or slang situations, such as casual conversations about social media. Be mindful of the adjective's agreement with the noun it modifies (e.g., gender, number, case). English speakers might confuse it with general "breaking," but in Russian, it's specific to forced entry or digital intrusion. When choosing between translations, opt for "взломанный" in professional settings and "хакнутый" in everyday talk.

Common Errors:

• Error: Using "взломанный" interchangeably with "хакнутый" without considering context. For example, saying "Мой email хакнутый" in a formal report might sound too casual.

  Correct: "Мой email был взломан." (My email was hacked.) - Explanation: "Хакнутый" is slang and better for informal use; "взломанный" fits formal writing.

• Error: Forgetting adjective agreement, e.g., saying "взломанный аккаунта" instead of "взломанного аккаунта" in genitive case.

  Correct: Ensure the adjective matches the noun's case, as in "взломанного аккаунта." - Explanation: Russian requires full agreement, which English learners often overlook.

Cultural Notes:

In Russian culture and media, terms like "взломанный" have gained prominence due to increasing cyber threats, especially with events like high-profile hacks on government sites. This reflects Russia's growing digital landscape, where cybersecurity is a hot topic, influenced by global issues like state-sponsored hacking allegations.
