Oklahoma exposes sex offenders' Social Security numbers

A blogger noticed the Oklahoma Department of Corrections was making the Social Security numbers of thousands of registered sex offenders viewable through a security hole on a state website. Even after he notified the department, the problem remained. Only when he showed how to make state employees' personal information visible did the state fix the problem. [The Daily WTF]

    Well, yes. The best way to improve the bus system is to remove the parking lot at the bus company headquarters, etc.

    But when you say "You" you make me uncomfortable. What exactly are Valleywag's demographics? Are we skewed towards the state employee side, or the sex offender side?
