A story entitled: "Why you don't steel from a Texan" would generally entail the thief getting shot. Shooting a thief doesn't make one a Texan, but it is the kind of thing a Texan would do. (Gross generalization for illustrative purposes only.) In the same way, having a software program installed on one's computer in case of theft does not make one a hacker, but it is in the spectrum of things a hacker might do. So I think that the title is plenty accurate.

That said, the title does prime one for an epic tail of recovery and revenge involving spoofed IP addresses and total identity theft. This story is a little bit of a letdown, but I doubt he meant for it to get the attention it got.
