KEPR TV is on your side - UNTIL

..it comes to investigating State of WA Corruption and their OWN GROSS INCOMPETENCE, then that gets covered up. The cesspool of idiocy and Left wing drivel recently ran a story about a fake drivers license renewal website. I sent this in response which was ignored by the station thats supposed to be "on your side"

Security on the internet is the key question here. This is a website with no connection to DOL deceiving people into thinking they are inputting personal data (PII personally identifiable information) into a DOL computer system

Not only is that a deceptive website, but it exposes Citizens to Identity Theft.

How? Simple - a website other than DOL got sensitive PII.

DOLS WEBSITE IS ALSO INSECURE, and they are not telling you. Or the Citizen using the 'official DOL site' who falsely believes it is secure.

I have software to detect how many websites are connected to my computer, and from what websites, when I connect to a site like DOL.(or any site)

I arranged my computer tonight to connect to only the DOL site and nothing else, through an ordinary internet Browser.

When I was into the DOL supposedly "secure site' where (if the renewal page was up and running, and it isnt tonite) I , as a Citizen attempting to send sensitive PII to DOL, would assume that only DOL could 'see' or receive that info.

My software tells me that this is not the case, that while I was connected to what most people would assume is a 'secure page' that SEVEN other websites were connected to my browser session in addition to DOLs secure site known as "fortress"

The result of that is that someone at ANY of those seven sites could, if they wanted to, take simple steps to see anything I typed into my browser, into the DOLs renewal page and again, this is SENSITIVE PII.

The DOL page is grossly insecure, which is why I NEVER use such pages.

Id be glad to meet with one of your Reporters to demonstrate to them (preferrably when the DOL renewal page is up and running) proof of these connections.

And, you ask, what websites connected to this supposedly 'secure session; that the Citizen is NOT TOLD ABOUT?

GOOGLE, for one.
Akami

NEITHER of these are the State of Washington.

Yes, the same Google driving around snooping for personal data on Wi Fi systems.

Someone at DOL needs to explain why they are allowing such 'parasite connections' (thats my term for them) from web domains that are NOT DOL, to connect to a supposedly 'secure connection' where sensitive personal data is being disclosed, and CONCEALING THAT FROM THE CITIZEN!!

Here is the list of websites connected to my Browser on this supposedly 'secure connection'

IP Addresses as reported by McAfee when connected to DOLs supposedly "secure"
renewal page at https://fortress.wa.gov/dol/olr/ :

74.125.127.136  "pz-in-f136.1e100.net" which is GOOGLE, which is NOT DOL
72.247.253.115   "a72-247-253-115.deploy.akamaitechnologies.com" which is NOT DOL
74.125.224.158   "nuq04s09-in-f30.1e100.net"  which is GOOGLE, NOT DOL            
198.239.146.19   "fortress.wa.gov" which IS DOL (two connections)
96.16.52.20       "a96-16-52-20.deploy.akamaitechnologies.com" NOT DOL (2 connections)
74.125.224.135     "nuq04s09-in-f7.1e100.net" GOOGLE, NOT DOL

On a direct tangent, last year I contacted WA SoS online through a form to inquire on corporate registration. I received a letter back from the State of MISSOURI wondering why I had inquired on THEIR SYSTEM about a WA Corporation.

A rep from the SoS had no explaination of how that could happen. IT DID.
