A particularly alarming hack was carried out at the DEFCON hackathon conference over the weekend by an 11-year-old boy. He managed to hack into an imitation Florida state voting website and change the results of the “election” in fewer than 10 minutes. DEFCON is the world’s larger hacker conference held annually in Las Vegas, where hackers and cyber security experts try to break into all kinds of computer security systems, highlighting how easy it can be to manipulate software and hardware.
