=The media's portrayal of hacking and hackers= During the 1990s and early to mid 2000s, many media sources would hype up the term hacking and hackers in reference to computer security experts who've gained illegal access to a computer or network of computers, or have committed felonies which involved computers. This term was so broad that the media would easily use it in any story that involved some sort of computing device, such as pedophile looking at child pornography or someone running scams on an online auction site. Even though no electronic security was breached, hacker was a great buzz word to use. Due to this many people falsely feel that when someone or something is referred to as hacker or hacking, then it must be in regards to malicious illegal activities that involve computers and the internet. Over the late 2000s, the terms cybercrime, cyberfelony and cybervillain have come into use with most media outlets. Hackers and hacking still do get used but it's becoming a rarer occurrence.
