This isn't done for financial gain (or at least it didn't use to be done for financial gain).
It's basically a game.
In my youth I was drawn to it and tried to be a racer to gain access to top sites.
The rush was basically to be one of the first to have your hands on something, even if it was just to prove that you could. Like just get it to show off that you had it before any tracker had it - kids stuff.
For these guys it used to be about releasing before any other group (that wouldn't be nuked, for example, if a crack didn't work).
Nowadays if they are using bribery for access, or are being paid to dump it on sites, then yeah, I guess it would fit in financial gain, therefore white colar crime.
