no, they’re using “hacker” as it’s old definition..being “a person with a high level of skill in technology”…somewhere along the line though it has taken on the definition of “cracker”…so it is now “a person who attempts to gain unauthorized access”
Hacker groups have been trying to get the definitions fixed for years, but they’ve had as much success as the guy who created the .gif file format trying to convince them it is pronounced “jiff”
