Email them - many sites have a contact page with an email address. Tell them what the issue is up front. Be specific and give all the details they need to confirm the issue. Don't ask them to follow up or for payment. These are both red flags as there are so many spammers and scammers out there.

Try automating that for 15k sites and you have a whole new engineering problem in front of you!

It should be more or less possible though. Just not easy.
