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
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.
