Yes, that is the logical action in a make-belief, perfect world where a person who has been beaten and abused for several years can think rationally and trust authorities. But in the world we live in, humans rarely make the logical decision since they are, you know human. But I would never blame them for it, rather try to understand it.
And this is where the problem lies with this whole situation, in empathy. If we cast aside discussions about morality (which is a very relative subject) and legality (which is always hard to a specific case like this), the question about empathy remains and if these hackers even cared about what life situations these supposed cheaters (we actually don´t know how many cheated, and how many just talked with other people) was in and how their actions would affect them. It is also a matter how we as observers react; are we showing empathy towards the hackers or the cheaters (or the cheaters spouses)? I think therein lies the dividing line between a lot of people in this thread.
