Those hackers are taking things apart because they can. Do you think the Russians didn't do the same? Just because they do it once to see how everything works does not mean they have to do it to every machine. One of the guys specifically was getting access by wi-fi.

The Russians didn't have to hack individual machines though, they just had to get access to the programmer or programming and that is easy enough to do, especially with their deep pockets. The one person that controls what the machine says controls everything.

Agree, Captain. It's not as easy as they make it, and there is no evidence it happened in 2016 Hoyt Jan 2018 #10
