US Identifies ISIL Hacker Linked To Military Breaches (justice.gov)

An anonymous reader writes: The Islamic State hacker detained at Bukit Aman in Kuala Lumpur, has been identified as 20-year-old Kosovo student name Ardit Ferizi. The U.S. arrest warrant alleges that the Kosovo hacker executed computer attacks and committed theft violations, stealing the personally identifiable information of members of the U.S. military and federal employees. The Department of Justice warned that the leaked data was intended for the "purpose of encouraging terrorist attacks against those individuals."

Theft:
a: the act of stealing
We don't need to go any further:
From Dictionary.com: Steal:
1) to take (the property of another or others) without permission or right, especially secretly or by force:
2) to appropriate (ideas, credit, words, etc.) without right or acknowledgment.
Merriam Webster has similar definitions for steal.
The list wasn't his, and wasn't available to him. Sounds like theft to me.
