Yep.
From xkcd:
Sounds like faux websites.
Who knows how secure the real ones are.
Sounds like a publicity event.
Yep.
From xkcd:
Apparently so ....
From 2005 and brings the woman to tears. Imagine what this country would be like if there was some integrity.

No. They were fake sites created specifically for this propaganda event. Even if the real sites had been hacked, it would not have affected the real vote total, only the numbers displayed on the web.
Some have suggested that they didn’t even hack the fake sites but modified the copy in their browser by using the F12 tools.
How many ballots can they stamp out with a stolen ballot puncher (as in Florida) or how many ballots can they change with a block of wood with a nail in it?
I used to be a Voter Registrar in Texas years ago. I was talking with a lady that would go to the County Courthouse and pickup the Electronic Voting Machines. When they were signed for the EVM’s would be Booted up to be sure they worked and had the correct office, canidate name and/or bond type info AND that All Counts were at 0/Zero/Zip/Piff/Nil/Naught etc.
I asked her if she turned them all on for the Election. She told Me sometimes. I asked if they were still at 0/Zero when turned on at the Polling Site.
Her reply was “they were at the County Courthouse”
I asked again, this time she said “I don’t know I’ve never looked”
I then explained how simple it would be to make 2 different Autoexec.bat files. 1 that when Booted everything was normal and at 0 and after the 1st Boot it Deleted that Autoexec.bat and Renamed a second file called Two.bat to Autoexec.bat AND then it “doctored” the Vote Count in favor of Xname or Xfunding plan by any quantity wanted...
And trigger a 2nd Delete and a 3rd Rename back to “Normal”.
There Ya have it Folks.
It is easy enough to cheat by conventional means, using techniques perfected by Democrats over the last 150 years.
I have been voting for close to 40 years. I have become resigned to the fact that each and every one of those thousands of votes cast has been nullified by some Democrat double voting or committing some other fraud.
I am convinced that every vote I ever will cast will be similarly nullified, and yet I persist. I persist because at some point the only thing you can do is throw your body on the pile to try to stem the flood of evil.
Vote fraud is a way of life for Democrats. They must be opposed at every turn for this reason alone.
No. It was a made up simulation. The kids already had access to be able to make changes to the simulation on the computer
This is horrible propaganda
Russians not smarter than a 5th grader.
There is some serious BS going on here.
I have been involved with DEF CON for almost 20 years and I have never heard of this “Molly Hall”.
There are very few people, if any, that would be considered a spokesperson for DEF CON. No one involved with it would ever make the claim that modifying a fake version of a website was a news worthy event.
I am sure that they set up some sites for the kids to hack into and change. I’m also sure that they were set up with known vulnerabilities so the kids could find them and take advantage of them. And they were set up to look like election related sites in order to demonstrate the potential impact of what such vulnerabilities could lead to. That all sounds very much inkine with what they would teach at the “roots asylum” (kids workshops) portion of the conference.
But this story is someone who is taking advantage of the lack of knowledge of the press (go figure?) and pretending to be an authority showing something significant.
PC anywhere is loaded. Any one with some knowledge can hack it.
Read the story. They set upa fake website so riddled with holes it could be hacked by an 11 year old. Propaganda stunt not real.
