According to Urban Dictionary Hack is a person who is a professional at doing some sort of service, but does crappy work.

@Calvin Were you trying to be funny bro? Urban Dictionary is not a real effing source! Please be serious when using your ethos to answer questions on here. Dont seek others' approval. This isn't that kind of social media.

As we all know, there are all kinds of people and all kinds of hackers out there with their own life experiences, interests and agendas. You're throwing a lot of assumptions around and linking to specific instances to give your claims credibility (it sounded personal). To answer you questions: 1. I believe the "wanna cry" creator(s) is/are small time, selfish adolescent minded individual(s) trying to strike at the medical institution. No idea on a possible motive and not interested, yet I know better than to generalize the entire hacker population based on a single incident. Whether You were affected by that our speaking from passion, you know better than that. 2. I idolize no man and I don't get hacked because I'm not an idiot. I'm careful with my personal data. I take specific precautions when dealing with the new 4 horsemen: Google, Amazon, Facebook and Microsoft. As far as your assumptions: I don't think of hackers as saviors or as villains, but capable "creators" making their own choices. Perhaps you should recognize your own bias and become aware of the way you are being socialized by the media portrayal of hackers. They don't talk about the hacker "pay it forward" movement where hackers are helping people who cannot otherwise help themselves (due to circumstance, lack of education, disproportionate targeting by law enforcement) get out of messy situations, usually legal ones, in which the aided are connected with local pro bono attornies to fight their cases. They also don't talk about the countless hours that hackers contribute to open source projects for the benefit of all. Of course, doing horrible things like tampering with hospitals and attacking the innocent is cowardly. I don't play that. I have no problem getting people like that swatted, all day.

To me, a hacker is someone who, with increasing efficiency, succeeds at gaining access to online/digital content that they wouldn't otherwise be granted. They can access any server, ALL media and documents, even things that are thought to be unreleased, as long as they have a source (NEVER PAY FOR ANYTHING DIGITAL). When prompted by someone else (a job/challenge) or their own thought, a hacker is able to attain intelligence on any topic, event, project or procedure and able to analyze and authenticate it before re-uploading it to another (very obscure) location online to eventually be released to the masses.

A hack is 'a menipulation of underlying mechanisms in order to achieve a purpose".
