> Is it unreasonable for my account to have been hacked and used to hold illegal material?

I wouldn't necessarily say unreasonable. Incredibly unlikely, though.

That objection applies to almost any possible evidence gathering technique. Framing someone has always been a possibility. It's the subject of many stories, and more than a few real life cases. But we don't know or (IMO) have reason to believe it's become more common in the digital age. You need motive and ability to do it still, and those often don't come together.
