in my eyes, unless you make it a habit of yours to pen test systems you
weren't paid for, you shouldn't even try and hack them (pen test - or
whatever you would call it) if you decide do something illegal I would
expect that it is all a matter of time and money, how much for how long
that company is willing to pay in order to find out who infiltrated
their systems.

If you report a vulnerability to the company, and they (rightly) decide to scan their logs to see if someone has exploited that vulnerability, they may come across you in the logs. Since they don't know you, this might trigger an incident response process. If the exploit is big enough and the process continued enough, they might pursue you and disclose to their customers before they realize it was just you. Hopefully if you go this route, you did your "testing" from a non-identifiable Internet connection.
