I logged into my account to review the activity and found the form the perpetrator had submitted for appointment of new primary contact and it infuriated me, given the grave omissions committed. I wrote a letter to the company hoping for them to rectify the harm and they offered me half month of hosting, in signs of good faith! For weeks I've been struggling with this and figure that the best thing to do is to ask my community for advice and help, so my dear slashdotters please share with me if you have any experience with this or know of anyone that has gone through this. What can I do? I truly do feel horrible about it and have let the issue rest for a couple of months, but still keeps me up at night :(
