Watch a hacker break into a voting machine at Def Con, the largest convention of hackers in the world. The event is intended to demonstrate vulnerabilities in America's vast election infrastructure.
Organizers of a"voting village" at the annual Def Con hacker convention have packed a conference room at Caesars Palace with voting machines and have asked civically-curious hackers to wreak havoc. The event, now in its second year, is supposed to demonstrate vulnerabilities in America's vast election infrastructure.After a few hours on Friday, one hacker was essentially able to turn a voting machine into a jukebox, making it play music and display animations.
