While recognizing that recent reports of cyber warfare, phone-hacking scandals, and identity thefts

These terms are SPECIFIC, whilst "hacking" is a generic term that includes or encompasses DIFFERENT terms based on the context or what we are talking about.

Let me know if it is still unclear or not

I believe if the meaning of "hacking" depends on the context of the sentence then it there is a hint of subjectivity. It is all context dependent and is open to interpretation.

That's why I think subjective can be appropriate but I am struggling to understand how "generic" and "inclusive" pair up.
