The term hacker is supposed to be used in conjunction with master-level programmers or people who understand how to think in, out, and around the box of programming.
Hacker is commonly mis-identified and associated with people who like to 'hack' websites or companies. In reality, those people are termed 'crackers' not hackers.
The person who 'hacked' wikileaks (Th3J35T3R) is a cracker-"hacktivist" which is also a misnomer, because while he is an activist, he is still considered a cracker; but because the popular term is hacker, so thats the term that they use.
