According to the YouTube channel Gamers Nexus, over 600,000 customer warranty claims for MSI products were publicly accessible via Google search.

Do not forget that accessing stuff on Google can probably get you to prison.

When you see something illegal on Google that should have never been published publicly you need to immediately avert your eyes and plug your ears. 🙉

Don't be the next Aaron Swartz...

Aaron Swartz story is a bit different, because he actually paid for those documents via taxpayer money.

But other parts of your comment is true. A good analogy: if someone leaves their house open, and you walk in, that is still ~~burglary~~ trespassing.

In your analogy that isn’t trespassing. You’d have to knowingly violate a no trespassing sign or a persons command to leave for it to be trespassing.

That's only true for areas of land that aren't visibly occupied. Entering any building without permission is considered first degree trespassing in my state, and I don't think that's a unique definition. Traversing the land near a dwelling is considered second degree trespass.
