Reporting record
Finding
RuntimeWire found two working America.gov chatbot Easter eggs and a third theme trigger in the site's public JavaScript.
How we verified
Methods: documents, public records, reverse engineering.

The JavaScript also identifies the sequence ↑ ↑ ↓ ↓ ← → ← → B A Enter as a retro-theme trigger, but RuntimeWire did not reproduce that trigger live.

RuntimeWire encontró el poema mientras inspeccionaba el JavaScript de producción del sitio y lo reprodujo en el sitio en vivo. Un segundo comando, take me back to firstgov, transforma la página de inicio en un regreso con paneles azules con la marca FirstGov y un comercial de archivo.…
