@mattblaze I had a similar experience in an unrelated area (except, of course, that it was @jswatz who also wrote it up). After downloading district court records, we discovered a large number of bugs: disclosure of names of minor children, of confidential informants, of medical records, and *tons* of SSNs and other IDs. The courts went ballistic, they were convinced that the PACER paywall was protecting privacy and by disclosing the bug, I had blown their cover.
