They wouldn't be doing it for the money. The EFF would be a good example of a firm that could take this practice up.

That's besides the point. It still costs money, and the company that's vulnerable is not the one paying it. A service like this would be time consuming (bogus reports, etc), and the EFF would still have to use money from donations to finance this.

The only thing I can think about is some security firm doing this, using the exposure as a marketing tool and establish them as an authority on the subject.
