These aren't bitcoin hacks. I would consider these bitcoin ecosystem hacks.

I think a more descriptive title would be "The Biggest Bitcoin Exchange Hacks" but billions of dollars in lost Bitcoin doesn't care about semantics.

Is anything in crypto world history? I thought something had to be a few decades old to be considered historic.

It is worth noting that one year in crypto is probably equal to 10 years in most other industries. At least with respect to the rate of technological and intra-cultural changes.

This story is false on the surface. The bitcoin blockchain has never been hacked, altered, or exploited in any way.

Never.

It is always possible to get someone's key (if they still have it). That is not hacking. That is social or legal engineering.
