How about passing the information to someone like the EFF and let them inform the owners?
The OP said he used a form for reporting security vulnerabilities on the site. Does he still have to be afraid to get sued in such a case?
- yuhong 12y agoI think the CERT would be a better idea.
- droopyEyelids 12y agoThe EFF exists to influence court cases that are likely to set a precedent. They are not a general 'help everyone' organization for people who get into technological legal trouble- the closest they come is having a list of law firms they refer uninteresting legal business to.
- smoe 12y agoThat's why I wrote "like the EFF". I figured, when you life in a country where you actually can get sued for things like that, there must/should be an organisation or site one can use as a middleman. I wasn't aware of CERT. I'm still wondering if it has any legal influence in the US when a site provides a form for reporting vulnerabilities.
