People always read the headline and not the article.

“While it is undeniable websites are vulnerable to hackers, election
night reporting websites are only used to publish preliminary,
unofficial results for the public and the media. The sites are not
connected to vote counting equipment and could never change actual
election results.”’

I have a relative who works for a huge Corp and is a professional computer hacker. He works with a team who daily try’s to tap into the companies security systems. Or look for weak spots and patch holes as they find them. They figure if they can, than a 15 yr old in a Romanian web cafe also can, just as easy....
