Be careful when you say "hacking." These are generally always scams that are tied to getting your money, not control of your systems.
Stealing is where they take money from you, your bank, PayPal, etc. Hacking is where they are gaining access to systems.
The people doing it are not hackers, they are scammers. Hackers get control of your systems without really needing you to be involved.
It's like when people say "my car was broken into last night" and then inadvertently let it slip that they left it unlocked. Yeah, it seems like semantics, but when you elevate these people to hackers you're doing them a favor.
