You can report the incident to the list owner by sending an email message to
security-request () listserv educause edu. I do not know the policy in this
forum, so I have no idea what, if any, action might be taken. In many forums,
this behavior is explicitly prohibited. In some forums, it will result in
the vendor being expelled.
