"spotted a fancy lock on the door of some institution (not a private house), lock-picked it and looked what's behind the doors."

And then collected private information of everybody who works for or is a customer of the institution, and then threatened the owners of the institution if they spoke out about what had happened.

If they spoke out within two weeks. That's not very long. Hell, you can take down sites for two weeks just by filing a DMCA notice.
