Is using information from hackers cheating?

Getting the needed final PR for an event, special series... is the first question I see emerging on the wiki, even before car handling, track difficulties...

... and the last 12 months the final PR more often than not was known at the start of the event. The source of this data is obscure (Chinese hackers, Russian gangs, FM?) but the value for a player to know in advance how much is needed at what time is very important.

Is using this information, obtained by cheating, within the "legal" framework of the game also cheating? Very very gray.... but... aren't we all guilty?
