Key Florida Elections Office Endured Cyberattack Ahead of 2016 Election

https://www.npr.org/2020/02/13/805708275/key-florida-elections-office-endured-cyberattack-ahead-of-2016-election?utm_term=nprnews&utm_campaign=politics&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=social&fbclid=IwAR3z7dgpCrGggVXiSfhYBDP979F3PRyzt5r_J2U0xb5yWDStalAy-CoV6yc

The elections office of Florida's third-most populous county was breached by a crippling cyberattack in the weeks leading up to the 2016 election, NPR confirmed on Thursday.

The attack on Palm Beach County came to light during a Palm Beach Post editorial board interview with county elections supervisor Wendy Sartory Link. "Have we been hacked in Palm Beach County? Yeah, we have," Link told the paper.

Longtime IT manager Jeffrey Darter was fired in November of last year after he was arrested on child pornography charges. His acting replacement, Ed Sacerio, mentioned the hack to Link. Sacario told The Post that Darter dealt with the issue himself so he didn't know many details, but that he didn't think it affected voting information or election results.


Basically...no one knows who actually wins elections in Florida....
