It's legal as long as you aren't the one distributing it.

In my opinion it is legal to download a leaked database since you're not the one that hacked it.But ofc if you go logging in into peoples accounts after downloading it,it's illegal.

Of course it's illegal. You're harbouring sensitive data.
That's like saying:
"I only downloaded child porn, I didn't make it so it's not illegal"

Yes its illegal. You shouldn't be snooping around in other people's data.

For a long time I thought both of those were illegal, but it turns out that just having the data is legal.

I'd imagine the only person who'd get in trouble is the actual person who hacked the stuff.
