Holy shit. People have legit asked me this question. Although, I'm an IT professional and they didn't jump to that question just from building a PC.
When I got asked that once, I told them they should bring me their laptop. 10 minutes tops and I'll have access to their files. They really didn't know, if I was bluffing or not.
(I wasn't. The average laptop is genuinely that badly secured.)
Almost every personal computer that isn't a MacBook is poorly secured due to the lack of filesystem encryption as a default. No one encrypts their data at rest, and as such you just have to pull their drive and read it with another computer. Hell, I don't encrypt my entire file system despite being aware of this because of the inconvenience of added boot time, but everything that matters is encrypted and backed up across multiple devices.
The best thing anyone can do is keep the amount of critical, digital data they have to a minimum, keep that data encrypted and backed up, and use a password manager properly. That alone makes it exceedingly unlikely you will ever be a victim of cybercrime solely because you're more of a pain in the ass to compromise than 99.9% of the world.
I personally have almost 10TB of data between all my systems, but of that maybe 10 MB is actually valuable to anyone but me.
Windows encrypts by default now. I don't know if any Linux distros do by default but it was certainly option for me to enable it at install time.

There's literally an open source tool suite you can flash on a thumb drive, stick it in a sleeping notebook and get access to it. Sadly don't find it anymore.
VeraCrypt / LUKS

Well, can you hack Facebook?
I can guarantee you that someone in the Facebook HQ has their password on a sticky note. I bet they even think having it stuck under their keyboard means it's hidden.
In the U.S. it already counts as hacking when you scrape data... so yeah, sure.
YOu mean I have been hacking instagram for a year O.o
So... are you going to *hack Facebook or what?
