Has there actually been a conviction purely for "viewing source"?
- pona-a 1y agoThat was a real news story. A journalist looked at the state's educator-credentials checker, viewed the source and saw it had teacher's SSNs in base64 somewhere in the plaintext. Missouri Governor Mike Parson then tried to legally threaten the journalist. Honestly, if this case wasn't as high-profile, I think he might have got a conviction, at least in state court. https://www.theregister.com/2022/02/15/missouri_html_hacking/ https://www.theregister.com/2022/02/15/missouri_html_hacking...
