It's a bit unfortunate that it takes a spectacular hack with redirects like this one to bring the hack to the public's attention.

I wonder how many "lower level" hacks have occurred over the years which remove  a lien from the rolls just long enough to purchase a clear title report, or replace data on a document to reflect a value different than the official record, etc.

That's not to mention the number of times that a non-hack problem occurs in a system that prevents documents from  displaying which otherwise should.

San Mateo County, California installed a new recording system a year and a hald ago that failed to "push" some documents through to the database each night.  Neither the online database nor the internal house servers had these documents that were "piling up" in a parallel digital channel.  We brough this to their attention and they seem to have fixed it, but who know and who is keeping track of the daily problems with their systems? 

I wish a public log of such events was required to be kept and posted online.  Transparency could help some claim cases be narrowed down to who is actually responsible for  the error.
