High level leaks of classified material is the first example that comes to mind. The raw Wikileaks data, for example, was widely accessible and easily found by anyone with a quick search, and yet possessing that material was technically illegal, because it was never declassified.

Julian Assange has something to say about this.
Edward Snowden has something to say about this.
Reality Winner has something to say about this.
Chelsea Manning has something to say about this.
Woodward and Bernstein had something to say about this.

No doubt. It being illegal doesn’t mean it wasn’t morally justified and right in most cases. Just means it took more courage and personal risk to do the right thing.
