    So let me get this straight.

    1: you put SSNs in plaintext on a web page
    2: you get mad that someone clicked "view source"
    3: your actual Highway Patrol patrols the information superhighway?

      @aaronpk So puzzling. If he'd said nothing, this news would've been a blip in the scheme of things and pretty much nobody would care. "Oh. Incompetent government website. Whatever...." But he turned it into a spectacle with a public hissy fit.

      the followup tweets are the best because they just keep getting stupider and digging that hole even further

      LOL a follow-up tweet: <<A hacker is someone who gains unauthorized access to information or content. This individual did not have permission to do what they did. They had no authorization to convert and decode the code.>> Reading plain text ainโ€™t โ€œdecodingโ€, numbnuts

      It's not even unethical when it's using the appropriate channels to disclose a massive design flaw in their website. There's responsible ways to report problems like this. hackerone.com/vulnerability-โ€ฆ

      I know it's unethical. But I almost applaud people that do stuff like this...because...it shows the flaws in the system. Not knowing "computer stuff" in 2021 isn't cute anymore lol In reality, states and companies need to HIGHLY invest in good coders, cybersecurity staff, etc.

      I should make a one-key peripheral that triggers "view source".

      It's true, I don't have a one-button way to view source on this computer.

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming. (detailed bio)

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
