It's called whistleblowing. By definition, you have to step outside of protocol... or hack. Choose whatever verbiage that suits you.

I don't know what country you're from, but our laws in America are supposed to protect whistleblowers––not prosecute them.

A foreign government breaking into a computer system and releasing documents wholesale is not whistleblowing.
