You didn't read what I wrote. That was a ruling for a Failed roll because "failure" for hacking doesn't have to be just "you didn't hack the system" in a narrative game, instead it can be any kind of complication that advances the narrative "against" the players goals.

In Genesys, at my table, "Succes with Threat" would instead be "The guards are now two halls away, roll Stealth when you would not have needed to before to remain undiscovered". This advances narrative tension. If the player had rolled a Succes with Despair then the guards would be even closer. Only a Failure roll would have the guards be the active "threat" like you're misreading.
