DEF CON Invites Kids to Hack the Election

New contest at DEF CON lets kids ages 8 to 16 hunt for vulnerabilities in replicas of states election-results websites.

DEF CON is kicking its Voting Village hacking event up a notch this year with a contest for kids to try their hand at hacking into replica election-results websites to change vote tallies and election results.
