I'm curious if this would really be considered unlawful access, since only pure idiocy and no hacking/scamming/etc were involved.

On the other hand, in Hong Kong it would be straight to jail. Someone was sent a link by the airlines, he changed a couple of characters and it ended up showing another person’s data. The guy voluntarily reported the vulnerability and all he got was a criminal charge and found guilty
