A hacker's failure to practice operational security (OPSEC), leading to exposure of personally identifying information. Common mistakes include using personal information in emails that you use for black hat activity, leaving financial paper trails, not hiding your IP address properly through services like TOR and Tails, not using encryption technology such as cryptocurrency and PGP encryption -- and most importantly, failure to shut the fuck up.
Typical outcomes for a cybercriminal practicing bad opsec include getting doxed, extorted, ratted on, or worse, arrested and indicted by the federal police.

Ross Ulbricht got fucked by the feds because he exercised bad opsec. He posted a question in a clearnet forum looking for advice on programming his dark net market and urged candidates to write to a gmail containing his full name.
