Ask HN: Proper way to disclose network security problems?

1 points by Acutulus ↗ HN
While digging around with Shodan I came across some very poorly configured security cameras installed in a local franchise of a large company. Incidentally this page also makes their WPA2 key available in plaintext. As a hobbyist in this field with no real credentials, what would be the best way to bring these problems to their attention? Having read a couple of "shoot the messenger" scenarios from legitimate security researchers, I thought it best to consider a handful of options first.

Thanks very much for any input you may have.
