Hackers?

Hi. I just wondered how u guys felt aboute hackers and the creators of those nasty viruses.
Recently my free web-host page was hacked. The hacker had replaced my site with his own, on it telling me my site had been hacked (very funny).
I have spent in the recent weeks maybe 10 hours getting rid of among other,
the sasser worm and 1 worm i cant remember the name of and a virus.
This has led me into feling really angry at the creators of my troubles.
So far i have been lucky, and haven’t got anything that really messed up my computer, and have only lost time getting rid of them. But i guess it’s only a matter of time, before that happens, (reminds me to get an external HD).
Is this terrorism? Or just some teenagers revolt against the adult(working) society? Do the hackers who get caught, get the punishmet they deserve?
Anyway would be intresting to hear your opinion on the subject.
