Stop.

You're risking your freedom to save a corporation.

If you press ahead you will be dealing with people who lack knowledge and are scared of what you did affecting their career. They will rake you over coals. And you will have gained what? The minute pleasure of helping them save a few bucks?

You have a desire to help people. That's great and noble and commendable. But that's not what you would be doing here.

My advice: drop it. It's not worth it. If there was no risk to life or liberty from what you found, then yes chase the disclosure. But there isn't. Drop it and forget it ever happened. Your life is worth it.

I can't agree more with Brador, you're really risking your freedom and if they don't have a bug bounty, you might end up in court / being sued.

Here is a google translate from a French article that you might find interesting : https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=fr&tl=en&js=y&prev...

Thanks for the link
Yeah, makes sense. I'll probably just forget about it (but switch banks beforehand!)
