If you want to, you can report any vulnerabilities to the Finnish Cyber Security Centre and they'll handle all of the reporting and mediating the issue with the affected party. You can do this wholly anonymously, so you don't have to worry about some trigger-happy corpo ruining your life.

Traficom's FCSC has been a great asset for white hat security reseachers globally by allowing them to just keep contributing to the common good.

The CCC (Chaos Computer Club) in germany will probably do the same.

I should have known this exists, yet I didn't. Thanks for pointing it out.

This seems to be a direct link to a web form to report (in English): https://eservices.traficom.fi/ContactForms/form/haavoittuvuu...

In particular, note that all the fields asking for personal information disappear if you select "Yes" in "I am submitting an anonymous tip" field.

Were you somehow able to intuit that parent is Finnish?

I'm intrigued by your post -- I used to tell people send things like this to CERT/CC... but it's been so long since I dabbled in that world that my contacts have departed and the current administration is so erratic that paired with Finland's recent rejection of neutrality and ascension into NATO that I would frankly agree that your CERT may be a better fit for the majority of people.

You now have the worst of both worlds.

You report yourself to the police for trying to hack into a computer-system and you report yourself to the website that can now decide to sue you.

All of that without any benefits.
