"What are the people who break into computer systems called?".

"Hackers"
This is the term that
is most widly used.. Most serious computer users know
that "hackers" is the term to represent porgrammers or people
who try to solve problems involving computers.
Now crackers on the other hand are the ones who break into computer
systems for malicious reasons.
