Mayor said data was unusable to criminals; researcher proved otherwise.

Kinda like that jackass AG who targeted a journalist for viewing the HTML of a state site and published an article about the PII hard-coded within the web app. Don’t make us look bad!

    This effect is to get [Ross] to stop downloading and disclosing stolen criminal records to protect public safety.

    Why him specifically? That’s a lot of effort to stop one guy doing what literally anybody with some time and willpower could do? Surely they have bigger problems right now? Fucking pathetic.

      Because the real reason is obviously that the city got called out on and caught in a straight up lie, and they’re pissed and seeking revenge.
