Standards of her profession
The standards of the hacker world aren't relevant in this case, the standards of the reporter world are. She apparently didn't do too good in living up to the standards for undercover reporting and still persisted in her efforts after being identified multiple times.

Maybe they were a bit harsh in the end but if in fact one of her missions was to "out an undercover federal agent" then we should be glad they shut her down.
