Actually, I think you're referring to "crackers," not hackers _per se._
Crackers are the illegal nuisance ratfaces.  Hackers are, well, not.  While
hacker is harder to define, the term might include serious programmers,
people for whom computers, computing, and other branches of technology
are a hobby bordering on a passion.

One might, in fact, refer to some of them as "technobums."  ;)
