Some sites have "abuse@" but mostly for email abuse (i.e., spam) although
it seems logical to use it for security-related stuff; after all, it
qualifies as abuse. Most of the larger sites (esp. ISPs) have such
an address in place, but it's far from universal, unlike postmaster
or webmaster. Plus, postmaster is required by one of the RFCs; as
far as I know, no such requirement is in place for abuse.
