Cyberattaque pour l'élection du 8 novembre? Pas vraiment selon les experts.

Un petit topo bien intéressant sur les possibilités que des pirates informatiques puissent faire déraper l'élection du 8 novembre. Les possibilités seraient bien minces.

 5. So should voters be worried?

Experts say rather than the hacks, it's the reaction from the public that scares them. Rumors of hacking -- even if not successful -- could undermine faith in the election and play into a losing politician's claim that the election was "rigged." Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has frequently questioned whether the election results can be trusted. "That's what worries me, not just the cyberattack impacting the vote, but the cyber fears playing into such a narrative," Weaver said. "The damage is not the computer hack. The damage is the reaction to the computer hack."

DeBeauvoir also urged voters to have "patience," saying Election Night results are always a first pass, with officials verifying results and collecting mail-in ballots over the following days. "In World War II, there used to be a saying: Loose lips sink ships," DeBeauvoir said. "It's the case in this instance, too. It's not real that there's a concern that there's going to be a hack that would affect voters, it's the talk about it that's the real hack." She added, "It's cheap, easy and effective. It works really well unless we all recognize that's what it is and give voters information."
