The kids today have a phrase called "owned". If you screw up a situation

not skateboarding but cracker culture
you're "owned" when someone gets root or administrator-level access to
your computer...usually without your knowledge...and begins to use your
machine for purposes not of your choosing

(and people wonder why smart people don't use Windows computers)

LOL. I thought it came out of the video game culture. You're "owned"
when someone beats you three time in a row (and consistantly kicks
your behind).
