No. Those laws only make it illegal to release information, or insufficiently protect it, in a legal relationship of trust and guardianship (and to gather such information by pretending to be party to such a relationship). No such relationship exists here, and unless a SSN (or equivalent protected identifier) was released, it's merely ethically questionable, not illegal.

Even if it was, lawsuits are entirely public, and filing and litigating one would result in exponentially more publicity than this article has already given him.
