It is impossible to give a precise answer to that. It is likely that most people who have been hacked don't even know about it, consequently they don't report it and so it can't be counted. It would not be too far wide to assume that most people have been hacked to some degree. It's more a question of "how bad" rather than "if" they have been hacked. If you want a rough estimate, take the number of people on the earth, multiply by the fraction who have accounts (from what I can find, it looks like ~39%), then multiply that by 60%-80% and you will get a reasonable range. If you need a single number I suggest : 7,274,000,000x0.39*0.7 = 1,985,802,000 as a conservative estimate

There is no exact number of people who have been hacked as hacking incidents are widespread and constantly evolving. It is important for individuals to practice good cybersecurity habits, such as using strong passwords, keeping software up to date, and being cautious of phishing attempts, to reduce the risk of being hacked.
