Re: hacked my first site... not sure what to do

Show all headers | View raw

I managed to get into a global corporation's website management system and made the mistake of letting them know. I did not know this at the time, but you really should not inform them about the issue because you are making making yourself legally liable for even finding the issue. Even if you find an issue by accident you could be facing jail time or at minimum a trial in court, depending on your countries laws and the insanity of the corporation. They will bring you to court just to save face.

I got lucky and "got away" with finding it. In my country there were cases where people went to jail for letting website owners know about their vulnerabilities. If you do decide that the risk is worth it, then at least make sure they can't trace anything back to you.

Remember: No good deed goes unpunished.
