What this guy describes doing (using accidentally exposed credentials to log in to somewhere) is quite a bit more than what other people have been successfully prosecuted for violations of the CFAA for. I'd be careful.

You mean that Prezi, a Hungarian company, would prosecute the author, an Australian, under an American law?

The Internet isn't just something happening in the United States.

It's a fair point, but a lot of other countries have similarly strict laws.

Not exactly the same situation, but it suggests that the law is fairly strict.
