They absolutely gained unauthorized access to the data. Their access was not intended or sanctioned. If it was intended to be public and accessible like it was, this wouldn’t be a story and they wouldn’t have locked down the access.

But by the guy’s definition, they also used a loophole to extract sensitive information, so it it also an exploit.
