RE: 11-Year-Old Hacks A State Election Replica Website In Under 10 Minutes At DEFCON

in #news6 years ago

This is about creating distrust and paranoia. People who will get in there will sow distrust of the governmental official pages. If I were anyone in state government, I would be hardening these pages. This is as bad as buying votes.

Sort:  

I don't think the hacker kids want to create distrust and paranoia, just perhaps to highlight a vulnerability.

No it has nothing to do with the kids.

  1. The system is easy to hack - hence, a 10 y/o can do it
  2. The system does not touch actual voting mechanisms, but can be manipulated to report something that is not true.
