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

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.

    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.
