Good work!<p>What I personally find &quot;unbelievable&quot; is that one needs to go to Twitter to find contacts (a human) or the security team.<p>I mean, how difficult can it be (or how much does it cost) to have a &quot;security@company_name.com&quot; mail address and actually monitor it (particularly for large companies that actually have a security team)?<p>On a very minor-minor scale, a few years ago, while I was looking for some information on the settings of a router, I happened to find out (no Shodan, a normal google search) a number of instances of that given router &quot;homepage&quot; that were:<p>1) accessible from the internet<p>2) set with &quot;admin&quot; as password<p>All in all I found some twenty or so of those, since the model was more &quot;soho&quot; than &quot;enterprise&quot; I managed to contact all the people at the &quot;small firms&quot; involved, the exception were two (large, international) companies. In the end I found a way to contact one of the two, the other one was simply impossible.

Great job, @xxdesmus.<p>I was surprised to figure out kibana doesn&#x27;t have any access authorisation out of the box, which results in cases like this in companies, where security is treated poorly (by large, most of japanese companies).
