So the summary is that he got hacked because he reused an insecure password for his administrator account on SO. The guy who logged into his account seems to have broken ethical and legal obligations to the original website that he got the password from.

Hmm..not so black and white I think. He helped out Jeff and there was nothing malicious done. If I was in Jeff's position I would be thankful.

Yeah, tough call. Since he knows better, he shouldn't have let the passwords be stored on this other website so insecurely, and he shouldn't have been snooping. He did help Jeff out, technically, but he definitely crossed the line to do so.
