There are some reports that hackers are trying really hard to hack the midterm elections. Some are saying they aren’t successful, but others are saying misinformation being spread by them are causing enough damage. Targets include the voter registration databases, election officials, and networks across the country. They are trying to injections of malicious computer code to a massive number of bogus requests for voter registration forms.
Facebook is also battling this front by removing bogus accounts that partake in these activities. Given it’s voting day, have you guys seen any evidence of this yourselves?
