Redaction of contact information is a good thing.
(It's a tradeoff caused by the world we live in.)

a guy on USENET, had his computer room wiped out by ransomware.
How was he selected ? He registered a web domain with GoDaddy,
showing his personal information. he wasn't cloaked.

One day, an email arrived, with a "bill" attached from GoDaddy.
except, the email wasn't actually from GoDaddy. It was from
a Black Hat. The Black Hat scanned GoDaddy and extracted all
the email addresses. The attachment on the email is actually
an executable ransomware. All you need to do is double
click it, thinking it is a PDF. The code included a worm,
so the code could attack all the computers.

It took MONTHS for him to recover the computer room.
No backups.

However, the mental damage could not be undone.
He no longer visits USENET.

I have successfully reached websites using admin@ or webmaster@
and on one occasion, they even sent an ACK. Look for
suggested canonical forms of email addresses, for
contacting site admin. The purpose of those channels,
is not for "chats", it's to warn about site damage or
server issues that perhaps the admin cannot observe.
