Hacking in the USA

in #informationwar6 years ago (edited)

OK, let’s say it was “the evil Russians”. They had the means, they had the technology, they had an expertise… There’s no alternative explanation. Right?



And now let’s see how good voting machines in the USA are protected. They surely must have incredible cryptography, mechanical locks and controlled clearance, right?

A hacking contest was held in the US, to establish level of expertise necessary for a successful attempt of election hack. It must take a top-notch Russian computer expert to get into America's election infrastructure, right?

And so, it was done. At the https://rootz.org/ site

Warning: It’s an evil hackers site,
DON’T GO THERE!!!



Oh, come on! Congress has approved $380 millions for the election cyber security, they do not stand a chance, right?

Wrong.

Meet the winner: Audrey Jones, 11-year-old hacker who has done it in just 10 minutes!

Furthermore: 35 out of 39 young hacking contestants were able to do the same for a bit more time.

How is it possible that no experts warned for the vulnerabilities? Well, they did. But corporate media finds so much more profitable to ignore their opinions and scream hysterically: “It’s the Russians!”

Duration: 2:59



Waiting impatiently mid-term elections. What do you think, who will be “the Russian” choice?

unexpected nwes for all. thank you for share with us

LOL that is something I said all along, you can not blame people if you do not have the capability to look after your own computers, just like the NHS in the UK, it got hacked because it was and is running a system from 1999 that Microsoft no longer supports, maybe a little less money spent on fine wine and free lunches for politicians and a bit more spent on IT and the problem is solved, root cause = corrective action.
