This wasn't an urgent crisis, the victims should have been notified before their privacy was infringed upon.
Breaking into someone's computer without their consent is wrong no matter the reason.
Relying on a judge's discression as to what is safe and what is good before you break into someone's computer is a terrible idea. There's a current federal judge that thought Firefox was a search engine, he's one in a pool of federal judges that would be approving FBI requests to fix you computer for your own good.
