And hacking attempts on the rest of us are still illegal and wrong. As for sharing bad secrets then ok, certainly the press have published documents obtained illegally before and if it's in the public interest then those newspapers do that precisely because the voters can then decide for themselves.
However, it's still illegal and if it's a foreign power doing it we should be upset. As after all if they're only hacking one side it's clear what they're up too.
I don't want people hacking this country, hacking our political parties or hacking you.

So your "theoretically" is not based in reality?
I thought we were meant to be discussing something that is meant to have actually happened.
More than just theoretically, a lot of different people try to hack X, Y, Z. Just look at the number of phishing attempts. Doesn't mean state involvement. Still no evidence of anybody doing anything much more than putting forward a viewpoint.
It is when the Remain side try to prevent Brexit meetings or stifle comment that people should be worried about. Open free speech is dead and buried. Just look at "cancel culture". Every day people are being fired or forced to quit, just because they have the "wrong" non-approved opinions.

With Brexit, it wasn't case of a 80% or even 60%, in favour of remaining, mysteriously turning into a Brexit win. The very reason for the referendum was that the 2 sides were close in numbers for a long time. Was Russia "interfering" for that "long time"?
