• Then you shouldn't answer. This makes people get the wrong idea and become more ignorant and misinformed about the hacker sub-culture. The media already made it seem like the most evil sub-culture there is.

• That actually is an accurate example of what the term "hacker" CAN apply to. Someone who obtains entry into someone else's computer by less-than-ethical means.

• Hacker make things. Crackers break them. A cracker is what you may think is a hacker.

• In a security context, a Hacker refers to a type of computer hacker who is involved in computer security/insecurity, specializing in the discovery of exploits in systems (for exploitation or prevention), or in obtaining or preventing unauthorized access to systems through skills, tactics and detailed knowledge.
  
  In the most common general form of this usage, "hacker" refers to a black-hat hacker (a malicious or criminal hacker); many who use the term in any other sense insist on using the term cracker to refer to such hackers. There are also ethical hackers (more commonly referred to as white hats), and those more ethically ambiguous (grey hats).
