Better to pay your debt, wait till your PII has been removed, then issue a public disclosure of the bug.

Public disclosure because everybody should know about something like this that may impact them. Not because some random vigilante will see it and drop their DB for which they probably have no backups.

Make a backup for them first too, just in case they don't have one..

In most of my D&D games it might be considered chaotic good depending on the debt collector.
