I'm mostly amazed the author didn't land in jail, which is the normally the response to reporting this kind of thing to authorities.

Whew, absolutely! I love the line near the end of the article: "So in the end, I was down 10€ in domain fees, there was sadly no bug bounty (I thankfully didn't get my door kicked in at least)." Makes me cringe, imagining what that would be like.

Given the author appears to be a 19 year old German girl, UK bureaucrats proxying admin duties for offshore territories are unlikely to be motivated to start an international extradition for what amounts to a helpful tip.

  When you see “fun fact: this entire website is written without any javascript […]” and “19 years old”, you know there’s hope for our future.

    The entire blog at lina.sh gives me such a fuzzy feeling of the old web.

      Didn’t click the links on bottom of homepage but betting many of those sites will give you that same feeling. Web rings! Just great.

        I remember the 2010s push to get women into tech, I guess it didn't work so they had to try another approach.

  If the author was an 35 yr old Nigerian immigrant, would the response have been different?

  I've had a look at the thread you linked, and I can't see how you get that impression from it. The most I can see is you making a silly American-centric remark, and people gently correcting you that there are other places on earth.
