It all depends on the damage and reason for it.

On: Should Cyber Vigilantes Be Cheered Or Feared

If all hacker did was to DoS a site, the damage is pretty much zero. Its like a riot that blocks a street for 1/2 of a hour. However, in more severe cases, it should be punished, but not too harash. For example getting 15 years in prison for hacking a site, it just too much!
