It wasn't ethical as the vendor; selected by Schultz's DNC was at fault for allowing the firewall to collapse, the primary culprit; recommended by the DNC was fired by Bernie's campaign, Bernie's campaign had already warned the DNC of firewall issues going back to at least October so there is no evidence they wanted Hillary's information, or they would've taken advantage of it then.
Schultz in shutting off Bernie's campaign from its' own information, trying to cripple his campaign after the firewall was already reestablished (within 40 minutes) as Bernie had shown good faith by his actions both prior to the collapse and after was nothing but unethical, draconian, petty, punitive and unjust, Schultz went drastically overboard.
