Viewing website HTML code is not illegal or “hacking,” prof. tells Missouri gov.
Professor demands that governor halt "baseless investigation" and apologize.
TL;DR: A government website had some kind of feature that stored social security number data on the client embedded in the HTML, exposing teachers' private information. A cybersecurity professor who probably had to recover from a pounding headache from
