Re: hahahahah
You used to have "hacker" as someone that could do cool things with computers that they weren't originally expected to do, this is the sense it is used if those horrible "life hack" videos people keep posting on YouTube and FaceBook.
Then you had a cracker, which was someone that cracked security systems to break their way in.
Over time main stream media just used hacker for anything related to doing something dodgy with computers and that is now how it is used by the general public.
