It depends on the perspective.

If some guy hacked my box and told me about it, and helped me patch it up, sure; I wouln't mind, and I'll even thank the guy. And it should apply to companies which have secure information that would be worth millions maybe.

Putting good hackers into jail would be stupid, its like killing doctors.

I wonder how the NSA would react if they got hacked... :P
