A University of Michigan computer scientist and his team were not the
only ones attempting to hack the Internet Vote scheme that Washington
D.C. had planned to roll out for actual use with military and overseas
voters in this November's mid-term election.
According to testimony given to a D.C. City Council committee last Friday by
J. Alex Halderman,
asst. professor of electrical engineering and computer science at
University of Michigan, hackers from Iran and China were also attempting
to access the very same network infrastructure, even as his own team of
students had successfully done so, taking over the entirety of the
Internet Voting system which had been opened for a first-of-its-kind
live test.
