My guess is
they will find a way.
DOJ Warns
It Might Not Be Able to Prosecute Voting Machine Hackers
Motherboard:
“…After more than a decade of headlines about the vulnerability
of US voting machines to hacking, it turns out the federal government
says it may not be able to prosecute election hacking under the
federal law that currently governs computer intrusions. Per a
Justice Department report issued in July from the Attorney
General’s Cyber Digital Task Force, electronic
voting machines may not qualify as “protected computers”
under the Computer
Fraud and Abuse Act, the 1986 law that prohibits unauthorized
access to protected computers and networks or access that exceeds
authorization (such as an insider breach)…”
[From
the DoJ Report:
The
principal statute used to prosecute hackers—the Computer Fraud and
Abuse Act (“CFAA”)—currently does not prohibit the act of
hacking a voting machine in many common situations. In general, the
CFAA
only prohibits hacking computers that are connected to the Internet
(or that meet other narrow criteria for protection). In many
conceivable situations, electronic voting machines will not meet
those criteria, as they are typically kept of the Internet.
Consequently, should hacking of a voting machine occur, the
government would not, in many conceivable circumstances, be able to
use the CFAA to prosecute the hackers. (The conduct could, however,
potentially violate other criminal statutes.)
I hope my students are ready for this.
Microsoft
To Allow Unlimited Devices, More Users For Office 365 Subscriptions
,,, In a Microsoft
Tech Community blog post, the company writes that beginning
October 2, Office 365 Home will see their device
limits completely removed. That means instead of being
limited to installing the software on a total of 10 devices, it's now
an unlimited number of devices for both subscriber tiers.
