Once upon a time, the 'Technical Contact' was often a good way to get in touch
with a domain if their postmaster/hostmaster/security/abuse addresses were
brokken.  These days, it's safe to assume that the average clue level at the
other end has dropped low enough that it's not worth my time to tell the site
they have a problem - it's more productive to just null-route the offenders.
