Of course it is illegal thing. There is the intention to steal because of what you just stated. But there is no or I have not heard of anything or someone that goes to court because of stealing bitcoins. The question now is how would you retrieve the stolen bitcoins to you? How will you know who was or were the culprit? And finally, what would you do now?
as you can only receive bitcoin accidentally from a valid address so you can easily return it to him to the safe address from where you really receive it. and through this way the person can get his bitcoins back.

Hacking is always illegal but not always punished. So the only choice is to protect your bitcoin wallet from hackers.
yes there is no doubt about this that it is totally illegal for anyone to hack the bitcoin wallet of someone, as it is just like bank account and someone get access to your access so it is illegal and there is no doubt about this.
This is illegal but it is quite difficult to prove and find who stole your Bitcoin. These hackers know how to hide their tracks well, so call a very small chance. 
it does not matter that either you can prove it or not but morally it is not good and totally illegal and that is enough, it is just a type of stealing some ones bank account. 
yes there is no doubt that hacking of bitcoin wallet is illegal for every one, it is just like if some one is stealing money from you, although there no report can be put in police station or can be claim any where else as it is not a legal currency but still morally it is not good.

Its very good question but i think that here is don't have any laws to prevent these threats if such a problem occurred than who will asset it and on which bases they will make a good solution for it.the best thing is that you will be very care full.
it is good to learn hacking on your own wallet but what the reason behind that ?
My question presented itself because my funds were compromised by a site which had THEIR security compromised which allowed the attackers to intercept my emails "man in the middle." They must've gone thru my emails and found some attachments with jsons files....While they didn't hack my machine directly, they did acquire direct access to some of my clients before I could encrypt the pk's....which are now theirs because they encrypted them before I had the chance. So, if they have control of the pk, then they own the money, and I could not find any laws that stated otherwise. It seems to me that deference goes to whoever controls the private key and there isn't much that can be done about that accept the application of preemptive security measures....but sometimes preemptive measures are not effective <--- especially with MITM attacks.

yes there is no doubt about this that it is illegal if some one hack your BTC address, because it is just like if you are going to steal the bank account of a person, and this really a big crime.
Yes....but....The difference between banks and the Bitcoin platform is that banks are highly regulated and centralized on privately controlled servers....Bitcoin is largely unregulated and it's not controlled by centralized servers....so there's a catch there, right?

It is illegal for someone to hack your bitcoin, as it is your bitcoins and the person who steal will have to be treated the same as are treated by stealing other currencies.
I agree with you bitcoin is a currency so any one who will take your bitcoins without any permission of you will steal it and he will have to be punished the same as we do in case of money laundering .
Like all other currencies no one is allowed to get your bitcoins and like all other currencies it will also be illegal that someone get your bitcoins.
yes it is a fact that like other currencies bitcoin is also a currency although it is not yet legalize by most of the states and you cannot report it in police station or any where else but still it morally illegal and hope a time will come when governments will legalize it and then government will give good protection to it. I don't see how it is not illegal because you did not give them permission to have it - it is theft. Governments are working on ways to regulate bitcoin as we speak so hopefully we can get more protection and an avenue for recourse.
yes it is a fact that hacking of bitcoin address is illegal, although you cannot claim it in police as bitcoin is not a legal currency, but still it is just like stealing the pocket wallet of some one, therefore it is also morally not good and it is just like stealing something from someone.
