   	No, hacking is taking your radio apart to figure out how it   
   works. Or your fishing reel. I did that once, and it never worked   
   again, though I have a lot of spare parts now.   
      
   	Stealing people's money through fraud has NOTHING to do with   
   hacking. Most thieves couldn't hack themselves out of a wet paper bag.   
   They convince other people to do it for them.
