Re:Hacked vs Cracked (Score 2)

In this situation, the term hacking is the correct usage of the term. As per your posted link,

"Hackers will sometimes do questionable legal things, such as breaking into systems, but they generally will not cause harm once they break in."

Homakov only made superficial changes to allow him to commit a snide remark to illustrate and publicize the inherent weakness in a cloud storage system used by many independent developers and commercial entities.

In almost any other situation I would side with you on the horrible misuse/overuse of the term "hacking".
