While Iran isn’t considered one of the most sophisticated cyber actors in the world (Israel, for instance, is considered to be much more formidable), the group that allegedly hacked the Trump campaign is said to employ fairly tricky tactics.
It’s the Trump administration. You could probably just send them an email saying, “We believe you’re the victim of a cyber attack. Forward your emails to this address so we can scan them and remove the malware.”
You can stop there and be pretty accurate. The best we have is air-gapping private systems and trying really hard to secure private networks device to endpoint. As long as there are zero day exploits and well funded nation-states, there will always be back-doors in silicon.

any group is vulnerable to a hack if security isnt babysitting those that fall for the simplest phishing attempts

Confidence games are the oldest trick in the book. Layering technology on top of them doesn’t make it “hacking.”
