That is only one form of hacking, but not the definition.

Hacking is just using something the way it isn't supposed to be used (although that is an extremely broad definition, we would use the term for it's most common application in fiction, breaking into a system and exploiting it)

If you can send a message to the brain that exploits it and makes it do something (In whatever form that may be, it doesn't have to be the computer's binary code), that is hacking.

The Hacking page even mentions that some fictions extend hacking to the human mind.

While it is technically Mind Manipulation, it is still pretty much the same process as actual hacking.
