Is there some evidence that eastangliaemails.com was involved with the
hack? If not, I don't see the relevance, and I certainly don't see why

The difference, as the BBC article points out, is whether the journalist
either encouraged or participated in the illegal act.  Not so for the
Pentagon Papers, seemingly so for the Lookout Services incident.
