At least make a throwaway email account somewhere and email the state's IT department to let them know. I doubt it'd ever get fixed (given state budgets), but still.

In states that have state-level IT departments (usually, in addition to opposed to agency-internal ones), the state-level one mostly does IT project and contracting policy and oversight (often limited to large projects for active overisght), and maybe executes enterprise contracts for infrastructure that is used across agencies. For an in-production system, there is a good chance that they have no responsibility for ongoing maintenance, and no special information beyond what is on the website as to who is responsible for maintenance. You are better off contacting (anonymously or otherwise) the responsible agency. But, sadly, probably the most effective way to get it changed (after the flurry of butt covering) is to anonymously notify the media.

Other comments are talking about how Missouri will spend millions investigating this "hack". I don't know how to reliable mask my identity against a million dollars worth of criminal investigators. This was many years ago, a few years after it first happened I looked again and it had been fixed.
