unwarily

In reckless fashion

Without caution or watchfulness; in a manner that fails to anticipate danger or deception.

Someone who acts unwarily stumbles into traps that alertness might have avoided: She unwarily clicked the suspicious link.

The word suggests vulnerability through inattention rather than ignorance.
