    Likely nothing illegal. Quite a bit of bad dev habits. Some concerning security fuck ups, including pulling in JavaScript from a server they don’t control. Injecting JavaScript to subvert cookie/gdpr/login/etc popups on third party sites.

    Just generally bad things to do, especially in a government provided app.
