Jason Parker is an American cybersecurity researcher.

Parker began their career as a software developer. [1] In late 2023, Parker began discovering vulnerabilities in court computer systems. [2] [3] [4] [5] Parker has also discovered critical vulnerabilities in several electronic court filing platforms. [6] [7] Florida's Lee County threatened legal action against Parker. [8] In 2024, Parker identified numerous vulnerabilities in widely used public records request platforms employed by state and local governments. [9] In August 2024, Parker discovered a critical flaw in Georgia's voter registration cancellation portal. The flaw allowed individuals to submit a voter cancellation request without proper identity verification, using publicly available information. State officials quickly fixed the vulnerability after media outlets, including ProPublica and Atlanta News First, alerted the state to the issue. [10] [11] Parker's discovery added to the list of vulnerabilities, found in Georgia's new voter registration system, leading to increased scrutiny of the platform. [12]
