Whenever the word hacking or hacker comes to our mind, the image is created is that of an intelligent being who is criminal by nature, who attacks other computers, damages it, break codes, send viruses etc. Their mindset are as if the hackers are the computer criminals. They have a very wrong notion in this regard and have a completely negative attitude and utter dislike for the hackers. In this regard, the media has wrongly associated the computer criminals as 'hackers' The media has played a major role and has its hands behind this creation of negative connotation of the word hacker. General public may spread rumors but it is hard to believe, someone speaking about completely new term, which is also a totally new concept to him.
But the fact is that the term 'Hacker' and 'computer criminals' are absolutely two different terms and are not linked with each other in any respect. They speak what they read and listen from others. For this, whenever any cyber crime occurred, by unauthorized use of other computer system, the news published and delivered in public was by the use of the term hacking.
