It is true that the media has been misusing the term 'hacking' for
many years. It doesn't mean we should too. Hackers are programmers who
are passionate about programming, and who take solving problems to the
highest level. Whom you are referring to are called 'crackers'.
You are in a Free/Open Source Software mailing list. Let the true
meaning and spirit remain atleast on such mailing lists. Some
