I don't think so, but it was in response to some smart people developing their government website with the database stored basically in the HTML of the website if I remember correctly. A good Samaritan reported it and was basically charged with hacking the state.

Wait, really? What would I search to read more about this? Do you remember which state?

I remember hearing about this, so I tried searching for someone "being charged after reporting personal data exposed on a website"

Turns out, it's Missouri, 2019, or another article on the same topic

Holy shit, that governor really made an ass of himself. He just kept doubling down lol

Thanks for the links!
