My suggestion?  Speak with a lawyer.

A number of 'hackers' recently in the news did their 'hacking' via web
browsers -- just like you.  It could likely be successfully argued by a
prosecutor that you intentionally stole this credit card data.  Yes, I
know it was a via clickable link and the site was ridiculously
unsecured, but that probably wouldn't make a difference to a court.

Anyhow, take care and good luck.
