Hacker is a broad definition word.   Media loves to refer to any computer vandal/criminal/whatever as a hacker.   These guys do NOT have to be intelligent.  I mean all it takes is getting ahold of a exploit,  tacking on a couple easy to google payloads into a buffer overflow and spreading making all vulnerable systems members of your zombie nation.   Then you just have an irc channel with like 200-500 bots sitting in it.  ya go in say something like ""all ping -s 65500 www.site.net"  or something similar and just as easy.   I mean these guys typically aren't your computer savvy tech hounds,  usually bored kids who like to break things.   anyone with 95+ IQ could do it.  All it takes is the want and google.
