Chuckiferd, you are correct. The definition of
Hacker has changed from the one defined by popular culture, to a new subculture-oriented definition meaning many different things, ranging from a computer hobbyist to someone working on a security problem.
The old definition has been taken on by the new term,
Cracker.
