Morphology

get + into

The sense 'to gain access to' is directly derivable from combining 'get' (arrive/obtain) with 'into' (movement or placement inside), so a learner who knows both words can readily infer 'enter' or 'access'. The shift from physical entry to digital/unauthorized access is a common, transparent metaphor in many languages, so a B1 learner would typically understand this use without prior exposure.

Etymology

Get into comes from the simple image of stepping inside clothes: you get your arms and legs into a shirt or slip into a dress, sometimes with effort. So it means 'to put on' a particular piece of clothing.
