Some internet gamers and hackers like to spell words with numbers, probably to avoid filters and searches; they call it LEET or L33T.
The original meaning seems to be forgotten except by people such as me who read the newspapers back in the 90's. The current meaning seems to be simply an exclamation of joy at finding something or minor victories.
The source below www.doubletongued.org explains why the other offered explanations of the word are not tenable.

Apparently it was originally a hacker's term for admin access to a computer, but became a gamer's term in common usage.
Dungeons and Dragons players used the term "wow! loot!" which was shortened to w00t! when people started playing games online
other gaming definitions include "We Owned the Other Team" and "Wonderful Loot"
