"An" can also be used if the first letter is an h and the first syllable is unstressed (an historical event is the example on the Wikipedia page), but, I'm pretty sure the h in hashing is in a stressed syllable, so that doesn't count either.
Reminds me of some native English speakers who say "an historic ..." Pretty common even in accents that won't drop the H. Seems like that word is an outlier though.
EDIT: Oh, he's a fellow Greek. That explains that.
