"hackée" would be the real anglicisme of hacked. Lot of english words are used like real french verb (-er termination) (hacker, booker, spoiler, manager, etc)

I've never had such a linguistic double take after hearing a colleague, who grew up in France, tell me that Nike's or Adidas' billboards in France say: "Le leader en sportswear", pronounced as if it contained four French words (lee-dayr, spôrt-swear, stress on the final syllable in both cases).
