I’d like to hear an explanation as to why stealing from Chik-Fil-A is a moral act. The only one I can think of is that mass-produced chickens suffer horribly, and so anything that hastens the demise of the company is a good thing. But that makes a number of flimsy assumptions.

They donated to anti LGBTQ groups for years. Money given to Chik-Fil-A ended up supporting policies of hatred and bigotry.
Then don't patronize their business? Why do private opinions give you the right to steal public earnings?
You seem to be acting as if Chick-fil-A is a person and not a company. Maybe you own your own business or something along those lines? I think that for people who see them as a person in this sense will definitely think it's wrong to use this. However in today's capitalistic society those that see them as just a company have no moral issues exploiting this. They just see it as something to get for free or something they just have to put a few mins work into to get for themselves. Which in my opinion isn't bad or morally wrong if you exploit something and disclose how you did it so that it can be patched. Because unlike a government a company can push a change through in a few weeks/months to patch the exploit.
