Lawyer here: No. Not criminally. Knowledge that a certain result is likely is not the same as intent to cause the result. This is basically the difference between recklessness and intentionality. Doing something when you know of a likely result is reckless, but not intentional. Only doing something, trying to cause a result (likely or not) is intentional. In this case, the CFAA only covers intentional access without authorization, not reckless access without authorization.
