  If this was a joke it wouldn't be funny. Oh wait.

  So when is this gonna blow up for someone? Like are we gonna read about the U.S. power grid being shut down, or an entire state / nation wide election tampering? It's absolutely terrifying how incompetent these folks are. Why is there no one marketing their skills to governments who have actual skills? Why aren't governments hiring employees with actual skills? We used to have the most talented structural, mechanical, and industrial engineers in government positions or as government contractors. Is tech simply too young for that to have happened yet? Or are governments failing to adequately respond to their massive skills' gaps?

    It already did. Look at the last election.

      Not obvious enough. Power grid hacked, widespread blackouts = somebody obviously hacked it. Meanwhile, poll numbers slightly off from opinion polls, but enough to sway an election = could he hacks, or could be sampling error. And thanks to the 2 party system, both parties will poll close to 50% it's very easy to hide in the noise.

      What did what last election? I heard rumors of people thinking there could have been problems, but nothing more than rumor came of it.
