That’s what happened to Josh Renaud.

Renaud discovered that Social Security numbers for teachers, administrators and counselors were visible in the HTML code of a public Missouri State Education website and reported it.

Governor Mike Parson tried to file charges against him and labelled him as a criminal for doing so.

I've been on the side of disclosing a handful of times and it's a gamble each time whether I'm going to get a CFAA threat (both implicit and explicit threats).
