Orrrrrr, he could say thank you for the valuable heads up.
Going forward, anyone in Missouri who reports a crime will be thanked… and then arrested and charged with the crime. It’s completely outrageous and likely unconstitutional but it saves times and makes law enforcement look good.
Rather than fix the problems, yeah, that sounds smart n slightly North Korean or Russian
Vowing to sue people who uncovered a deficiency? The arrogance of a governor. Fix the issues.
This is like getting charged with breaking and entering for ringing your neighbor’s doorbell in order to alert them that they had left the door open.
Soooo. In Missouri, DO shoot the messenger.
This is like suing someone for telling you that you have food on your teeth.
A good example of the importance of a free press! To keep politicians and government honest.
*right click* *inspect* ahhh yes the fine art of “hacking”
The Republican’s are spending money on insubstantial audits but they cry about raising the debt ceiling
“Security vulnerabilities” is a strange way to spell “published social security numbers in the HTML source code that can be viewed by anyone on the internet”
Sounds like Fascism! Perhaps the State had something to hide?
What the hell?
'Parson cited a state statute ..., arguing that nothing in DESE's website authorized this individual to access teacher data' The website sent the info to browsers; so indeed, SOMETHING in the website authorized that access.
Governor, ill fix your vulnerability AND prosecute your case for $49 million, saving you $1 mil to invest in 5 1/2 inch floppy disks....call me.
Something like this could lead to *real* voter fraud. And the GOP knows that so they go after the newspaper 🤔
I bet the Newspaper broke laws.
' a multistep process in which 'a hacker took the records of at least three educators, decoded the HTML source code, and viewed the social security number (SSN) of those specific educators.' Decoded HTML? Gotta to be kidding me! The governor's grandchildren can probably do that!
Giving Florida a run for their money in the idiot pool
Insanity. Would he rather not have known about the security issues. Clearly afraid of the press doing their job.
Come on Missouri. Please tell me you're not okay with this hot mess.
If this idiot governor (why are they always Republicans?) think what the reporter did is hacking then I feel sorry for any Missouri state employee who has their personal information on this state’s website. They better put a lock on their credit reports.
Missouri...The Texas Mini-Me
The GOP attack on legitimate forms of media continues
Their SSNs were in the source HTML!? The HTML code you can see on any webpage just by pressing F12? TIL I'm a hacker! Sweet.
Pressing F12 is not “hacking” lol
Parson is going after reporters for doing their jobs and doing the right thing. Typical Republican, always on the wrong side of an issue. Maybe the paper should have just published the story and let the Governor deal with the fall out?
Huh?
'Vulnerabilities' is putting in a lot of work for 'published in plaintext.'
Parsons is Poison
What?
The audacity of these welfare queens. Missouri would be Albania without federal funding. Things like this is what happens when you don't have an actual job. Missouri is living in it's mom's basement.
and they will lose, obviously
Just wow...
And so once again, GovParsonMO embarrasses all of us by doing the exact wrong thing. No, gov, don't prosecute them - give the stltoday an AWARD for doing their job! Don't waste more tax $$ on lawsuits OR consultants. 🤨
Let me fix this for you… Gov. Parson shows a shocking lack of technical knowledge in vowing to prosecute the St. Louis Post-Dispatch for exposing how a poorly built state agency website publicly exposed teachers social security numbers - wasting $50m in tax payer dollars.

NPR Cookie Consent and Choices'... worked on virtually every film from Pinocchio to Fantasia.' Oddly worded, considering both of these films came out in 1940. Did she work on any films between 1940 and her retirement 35 years later? She was retired longer than she worked. Amazing life span.
