You are missing the point entirely. They (securiteinfo) are advertising
something that they are not actively enforcing. As such, it is useless.
I tried contacting them personally regarding this matter a few months

importance to myself, I declined to pursue the matter any further.
Perhaps you might want to take it up with them personally.
