Groups Offer to Secure the Next Elections From Hackers


Ethical Hackers will team up with U.S. Governors, Academics, and others to help Prevent Election Results from being Hacked.

The Coalition’s Members include Organizers of the Def Con Hacking Conference, the National Governors Association, the Center for Internet Security, the Atlantic Council, and Several Universities.

The Coalition will be Unveiled as Def Con Organizers, will Release a Report Today, Describing Vulnerabilities in Voting Machines and Election Computer Systems that were Uncovered in July at the Convention’s First ever “Voting Village.”

Hackers pulled apart Voting Machines and Election Computers at the Three-Day Event, uncovering Security Bugs that Organizers said could be Exploited by People trying to Manipulate Election Results.
