Well, the justice department announced this yesterday which should allow harmless white hat behavior: https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/department-justice-announces-new-policy-charging-cases-under-computer-fraud-and-abuse-act https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/department-justice-announces-... But doing anything further is a bad idea imo.

That statement absolutely does not bless “harmless white hat behavior”. That interpretation is a step on the path to prison. The Justice Department said they might not prosecute some crimes, depending on how they feel about you. Nobody is innocent. You do not want the Justice Department or any LEO sniffing around your life. The CFAA is still law and violating it is still a crime. You can still have your door kicked down and your life ruined.
