   There is no need to cherry pick mass media or personal articles, a   
   hacker is well deserved represented correctly by Steven Levy on his   
   books "Hackers, heroes of the computer revolution" what people in diff   
   sectors (hollywood, security complext, fear mongers, lazy sysadmins   
   blaming "hackers" for all their errors, etc etc ) have try to make it be,   
   that is another problem...   
   the book:   
   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackers:_Heroes_of_the_Computer_Revolution   
      
   and actual organization working for preserve the real values:   
   https://www.hackingisnotacrime.org/   
      
   read the Synopsis you find an updated 2025 explanation of hackers that   
   we can all agree with.   
      
      
   Happy hacking
