Newspapers typically don't call ddosing "hacking", at least not in European press. "Attackers" I see frequently in European media, but then as I wrote earlier this week in Sweden this has actually turned into "net activist" which, as well, is completely different from both "hackers" and "attackers".
The framework decision on unauthorized access to datasystems I think I recall defining restricting the access of data from a legitimate system as some form of unauthorized access, even though it's non-sensical. I didn't really start looking at this so much yet, but there's a few documents people should be willing to but are of course mostly welcome to scrutinize: COD 2010/0273 on unauthorized access, updating framework decision 2005/222/JHA. It would also be in the parliament legislative observatory under the name COM(2010)517. Puttin any of those document numbers into google will also give you the correct documents.
