Intent matters. The service provider clearly did not intend that the files should be public. They screwed up, and they should take responsibility for that. But that doesn't make it ok to know about the security issue and download as many documents as you can in order to use them for your own purposes. Perhaps that wouldn't be "fraud" based on whatever definition you're using, but it's clearly unethical and immoral, and IMO hopefully illegal as well.
