I Just Hacked a State Election. I’m 17

<i>&gt;The replica state election websites used in this year’s competition were built on MySQL</i><p>So the replica website built and designed by the DEFCON instructors to be vulnerable to SQLi for the purposes of demonstration was vulnerable to SQLi. Not that I was expecting anything less - but talk about clickbait...

<p><pre><code> I was able to shut down the website that would tally the votes, bringing the election to a screeching halt. </code></pre> Ridiculous clickbait title and claims. Such misdeeds do nothing to stop or &quot;hack&quot; a state <i>election</i>; at worst, it could delay <i>tabulation</i>.

Why are we blaming all of this election hacking on Russia when clearly our own governments don&#x27;t care the least about election integrity?<p>Get rid of all of this, go back to paper ballots.
