Right. I think the word "hacked" feels more aggressive and even scary than something like "This printer is vulnerable. We are security researchers but it could be real hackers. Here is how to secure it..."
It definitely draws attention, but in a very uncomfortable way.
It's even worse for people who do not speak English. As a Russian, I guess "hacker/hacked" is recognizable in a lot of non-English speaking societies, but other parts of the printed page are less so. So it definitely can unnecessarily spook some of those people until they find a way to understand the entire message.
