Last week at DEFCON 26 in Las Vegas, eleven-year-old Emmett Brewer
hacked into a replica of Florida’s state election site and changed the
voting results. That’s scary enough. What’s even scarier is that it took
him less than ten minutes. An eleven-year-old girl was able to hack
into the same site in about fifteen minutes. And more than THIRTY kids
were able to hack into replicas of other states’ sites in less than half
an hour.
That is straight up alarming and you’d think the folks in charge of
our state and federal elections would be concerned about this and want
to take immediate action. That would be the normal reaction. But we’re a
long way from normal.
