I remain mystified why people who – based on their deep tech reporting – I can only assume know better than this keep abusing the terms "hacker" and "hack". 🙄

"Researchers", "pranksters", "attackers", "malicious actors" are so much better and more clear in any relevant context.

Similarly "compromise", "break-in", "leak", "vulnerability".

The audience of any tech-related piece will understand these terms just as well as "hacker" or "hack". Or *better*.

There is no good reason for this.
