Re: Hackers v crackers v DDoSers

anyone doing anything nefarious will be called a hacker by the press..... Correct

The calling them "crackers" ship has long sailed.

It was a battle lost sometime early after the milennium. its game over man.

The original meaning does live on in a small way with people calling their top tips "Life hacks" or "food hacks" etc, this too has opposition from some corners though.
