In germany its also catastrophic. I remember 3 stories off the top of my head where security researchers were raided or sued after reporting massive security issues in company software.

There was a piece a while ago of a guy that went to expired domains in Belgium, happened to buy an old domain from the police, and all of a sudden, started to have emails from the police with a mail server. Crazy how no one checked the domain.
