The difference is mostly in plausibility of tools and techniques. Other hacker movies let themselves get wildly ungrounded and metaphorical. Sneakers feels authentic, which I suppose also positions it as more of a spy thriller.
I'd also nominate Cloak & Dagger for the "hacker spy thriller" category, albeit it's driven by a child protagonist, which is both unique and highly implausible.
