What would someone have to do, to lead them into getting their email account hacked, if anything?

I know a person who is of the opinion that he/she did absolutely nothing wrong to be hacked, and that it was some sort of random occurance.

Where as, I believe, that the person has some sort of maleware, spyware, virus, etc, that led them to getting hacked. Or a wrong click on a pop up by accident, perhaps responding to a spam email by mistake.

So, is it a random occurance, or someones slip of judgement somewhere a long the way?
