    I think there is definitely some risk here so consulting
    with an attorney familiar with cyber law would be a good
    idea.

    However, consider this:

    1) You've performed a free security audit for them. Some organizations
        might be grateful.

    2) If you don't contact them and an audit or review of their logs
        discovers your entry at a later date its going to look worse.
