Right? Every time I use PACER to look stuff up and I notice sealed-files in the docket, I think to myself, "PACER strikes me as very clunkily coded, and web programming is almost impossible to secure fully; apparently all that secures these files is simply the web app, they are foolish enough to commingle it all and count on access control denying the default of public access instead of storing them separately; I realize this is far more convenient than being offline or in separate systems entirely, but how has this not been hacked yet and all the sealed files exfiltrated?" Guess this answers that.
