Completely damning sequence of events here.

> Meanwhile, at 3:24 p.m. on Oct. 13, Angie Robinson, cybersecurity specialist for the state, emailed Department of Public Safety Director Sandra Karsten to inform her that she had forwarded emails from the Post-Dispatch to Kyle Storm with the FBI in St. Louis.

> “Kyle informed me that after reading the emails from the reporter that this incident is not an actual network intrusion,” she said.

> Instead, she wrote, the FBI agent said the state’s database was “misconfigured.”

> “The misconfiguration allowed open source tools to be used to query data that should not be public,” she wrote.

It's a shame blatantly lying and smearing a reporter will probably end up helping the governor's approval rating rather than getting him chased out of office.
