Not the same thing. Comparing this to someone breaking in to your house to steal your property is hyperbole.
They offer the service for free, and they didn’t secure their network, which goes against the most basic common sense. IMO they’d have a much better case if they just secured it with a password.
... which they'd then have to give to every customer. many of whom wouldn't know where to enter it. More hassle than it's worth.
