It depends what you use the information for...Anonymous and other such groups largely consider themselves to be white hat. What they do is illegal, but they believe it's for the greater good. If you believe you have a right to move and not have your activities tracked by anyone, then this would be white hat. If you want a fake identity so you can take out a loan and not repay it, or sell stolen goods to a pawn shop, the it is definitely not white hat.
