Ethics questions for the hacker challenge

Here are the long-awaited :) ethics questions associated with the Hacker Challenge due NEXT TUESDAY by email to both professors.

1. Was it morally legitimate for the hackers to penetrate this company's network to gather information?  When would it be morally legitimate to hack into this company's network, and for what purposes?  Why?  What theories of property could you use to support the act of penetrating the company's network?

2. Was it morally legitimate for Shreya and her company to defend their network against the hackers?  When would it be morally legitimate to defend against hackers who want to hack into your network to gather information?  Why?  What theories of property could you use to support the defense of the network?
