That's still not your concern or your problem. You're not internet Batman. Opening up yourself to criminal liability for someone else's site is insane.

Even if you were selfish: it’s your own data being leaked.
You don’t have to be Batman to want your data secure.
Lots of good white and grey hats have used anonymity to report for this exact reason.
Whether or not you feel it’s your concern (or “problem”) depends on your thoughts on moral responsibility to others in your society.
Yeeeeah, that's not how it works lol. Anyone who does offensive security for more than 5 minutes understands how little protection they have. And true anonymity is much, much harder than you think.
If you act in certain ways, you will probably not get in trouble but I have a lawyer on retainer for a reason lol
The harsh truth is you aren't protecting anything by doing this, because you can't control how (or if!) they fix the problem. All you're doing by accessing the data is for-real committing a felony, and that is an incredibly stupid thing to do.
> And true anonymity is much, much harder than you think.
You take steps that match the threat model - if it’s important enough to you.
Not everything found is.
Some things are.
