|Do then ends justify the means?

Sometimes, yes....

|For all the time needed and required to obtain knowledge of a mark
|system, just to infiltrate it, isn't there an easier way of obtaining
|the goods you are trying to 'borrow'?

Borrow? Implying you'll give it back some day???
LOL

|Is 'hacking' a viable means of theft?

Can be. Some systems today have howling security holes in them....
Unix for example.
Also, it's quite possibly to create a virus tagged to a peice of software
that auto-mails you the password of the poor idiot using the infected
stuff.....
