Like most developers, I've stumbled into lots of security problems over the years. The first few times I attempted responsible disclosure, but that resulted in enough close calls that I simply don't report them anymore. I document them. Sometimes I might mention them to others who have an interest.

I would now never report a security flaw without a iron clad set of laws in place to protect the rights of white-hats, whether we are licensed and approved security researchers or not.

I nearly got expelled from High School and pegged with a felony my Senior year for noticing a vulnerability.
