So basically – cybercrime and extortion is perfectly fine as long as it doesn't affect me. If it does, everyone must be held accountable.

I think that is basically the human condition. That said, we are at a point, at least in US, where information about people has been released several times over. The sheer amount of free monitoring I have received over the past 2 years alone would likely last me at least through my lifetime and I am not sure I am exaggerating much.
If that is the case: fuck it. Lets make it miserable for everyone until the pain is felt to an extent that necessitates changes.

I didn't say the crime was fine. I don't think that in either scenario it shouldn't be investigated.
Reddit failed to keep that information safe, and if it's an user's information they need to do what they can to keep it safe. They don't get to make the choice if it's someone else's information. If it's theirs, go hard, let it leak if they want.
