Moral Question?

[TheLow1]

I was searching a website today looking for a page I thought I remembered being at before. While looking for the page I came accross a *.MDB I know there are credit cards in there, I won't do anything with it but how do I tell the website owners without them coming after me? Is there an easy way or should I turn and run, taking the blue pill and returning to reality?

Mods if this is too close to the gray area on hacking please delete.

Attrition.org would probably be willing to tell them.

Notify them from a public computer . .

Actually you really should tell them.

Did you download it? Cause if you did, the information is already in their web logs.

If you sent an email from a hotmail account, or from another computer, they could not tell who you were.

BTW:

I would NOT try to threaten them, just tell the webmaster very politely that they have a security hole and that you could access the mdb. Recommend that they patch it.

I tried to contact the web master but it appears he may be out of business. His website has broken links to another site. I don't want anything other than to protect these card numbers. I mean I almost bought something from these people before I noticed the DB.

Try doing a <a href="http://www.netsol.com/cgi-bin/whois/whois" target="_blank">whois</a> search for the website, you should get a telephone number so you can talk to a human being.
