Ah yes the government was putting teacher SSNs on the html client-side. Someone inspected element and found them and reported it. The governor went on a personal vendetta and tried to get him charged with CFAA violations which are no joke.

Made me realize we need way more coders in congress that understand basic technology. Especially with AI becoming a big part of society.
