If a cloud provider mistakenly provides access to someone else's content, the end-user has not violated the CFAA. I have not heard of anyone charged for this alone. Not to mention, I'm not sure CFAA protects private computers / webcams in any case, only "protected computers".
Additionally, I'm not sure if this would be a violation of the Wiretap Act as an "interception" either, even if it was intentionally used to spy on the new owner of the device. Federal law is somewhat lacking in this regard.
