They really are an absolute pain; there needs to be a better set of resources for handling them.
I’m not sure what you mean by “hackers” here. Hacker is a label not only for individuals who use computers for malicious ends, but also for computer hobbyists/programmers who like to code and are responsible for creating some remarkable software, including the software you use for this blog.
Perhaps you mean spammers?
I disagree. Meaning is created by usage: the OED has plenty of quotations for ‘A person who uses his skill with computers to try to gain unauthorized access to computer files or networks’.
