>You can't have nice things because you aggressively criminalized the white hats

This isn't how a white hat should behave. At the first issue, they should have stopped, reported, and waited. At the very least, a responsible disclosure, followed by a reasonable time, then maybe public disclosure-- or just move on. Continuing to dig and steal information because someone didn't reply is unacceptable.

I cede the point. It's incredibly frustrating because the harm done is minuscule in comparison to the unsafe business practices exposed. The toxic data hoarder will skate, the messenger will be shot, and the public will continue to be victimized by black hats exploiting toxic data stockpiles.
