That’s a weird way to say they doxxed people instead of ethically disclosing what they found. Hiding that detail is why I have a problem with defending this.
If someone steals something they didn’t know belonged to someone (say through an unlocked door), should we prosecute them? I don’t know. What did they do next after they found out they shouldn’t be there? Did they give it back and tell the building owners “hey, you have an unlocked door” or did they yell to the street “hey everyone, come get free stuff!” How did they behave once they knew they did something wrong.

From what I have seen, they initial guys shared a link to the database, not any content. The equivalent of telling people: “Look at this unlocked door I found.” They did not “steal” anything as far as I know.
Also, the analogy doesn’t work either. What if it really was intended to be public? Making a copy is not analogous to stealing something, it’s analogous to taking a picture.

Damn, do you think this link I found that has a ton of women’s drivers licenses is supposed to be public? Better share it to 4chan. They’ll know what to do.

So it’s just about the drivers licenses? We should make a law to ban sharing drivers licenses?
What do you believe should be the law here.

When did this ever become about what laws should be? There already are laws for this. How are you so obtuse? They doxxed thousands of women. I can’t stress that enough. They doxxed thousands of women and you’re defending them.
