It's not so much an unpopular opinion as an unfortunate one, especially for the hacker in question, and those who have the misfortune of being physically located around them.
Specifically, because their actions may or may not make them a lawful target under IHL for kinetic force. While the hacker themselves may not be interested in laws, you better believe the State whom they are hacking is interested in whether their act just reached the magic threshold to lawfully drop a missile on them.

I should have added that as well. Well meaning hacktivists may or may not be aware of or in denial about the risks they are taking on.

Far better coming from educated, experienced practitioners vs some folks pushing thought leadership white papers on the topic.
