Absolutely not. It is flat-out illegal to break into a private email server and steal the data. Whistle-blowing statues (if there are such things in the UK) do not grant protection against illegal actions.

Besides having presented no proof that the server was “broken into”, rooting some insecure mail server pales in comparison in the criminal scale to conspiring to hide information from FOIA requests.

Nice try though.

I’d suggest that you need a better grounding in computer privacy law. For better or worse, the depth of your ignorance in these matters prevents me from presenting the vast amount of information that would be required to get you caught up. The short answer is that Charles is perfectly correct in what he stated, and you are quite wrong.
