Hotel chains, casinos, and tech giants? Forgive me if I don't have a lot of sympathy for the "victims" of these crimes.
It doesn't sound like they're really talking about terribly ideologically-motivated hackers like Anonymous or SiegedSec. Nor are they FBI-directed asshole groups defacing good guy sites like PBS or whatever like LulzSec. And from the text of the article, it seems like they're not (only) financially motivated. But if their aims are purely selfish and not actively destructive aside from that, and if the victims are big-ass companies, it seems fairly morally neutral to me.
Not that I wouldn't rather see them hacking for good rather than true neutral. But I don't think their actions are worth ruining their lives over. Which is what will happen if the FBI catches them.
