And the fastest success was this 11 year old ...

See, all young Americans are now Russian agents for Putin ;-)

Happened in Las Vegas, but reported in RT.  Why not in US sources, about an event in the US?

I'm sorry, how does the fact a kid can do it make an adult doing it less likely?

When people say stuff like "why doesn't the mainstream media cover this??!" is it because they don't know how to google or is it some cheap sensationalist ploy?

Even a cave man can do it.  Your election officials are complete idiots.  Demonstrated repeatedly with other computers in Washington ....

In my actual work, we take computer security very seriously.  But not all departments do.

MSM can't find the key to the reporter's bathroom.  They cover what the CIA/FBI tell them to cover, and say about it what they are told to say.  Cultural Marxists all the way down.

Ooo, Evil Twin was out there with his daughter; I'll have to follow up with them, I think they got back yesterday, maybe not until today.  She won't have been in the kids' hack, she's 18 now.

It's been known for years that voting machines were very hackable. That's just the way the GOP likes it, so they can keep control of elections when they need an absolute win. And they're getting desperate to keep control of the House and Senate, they can't stand the possibility of losing either. Power equals money, and they love money more than life itself.

That's not quite accurate.  They like paper ballots, too.  Especially the ones with hanging chads.  Really, either way is fine as long as unlimited amounts of money can be dumped into the system, voting districts are shaped like chinese dragons, and the electoral college (sometimes with the help of the supreme court) determines the end result.

"Hey, you lost fair and square..."

Then why do you vote?  To enable the assholes who do this?  Do you approve of bank robbery too (though you yourself don't rob banks)?  Pay taxes, be a warmonger.  Obey laws, be a tyrant.  Why aren't you an anarchist?  (I repeat myself).

What did the Democrats do in 1960?

proof that you should never trust children ever, they are all evil and need to be held in a tube of suspended animation until they turn 18.

Yes their fed information to their dreams matrix style until they are 18, then allowed to enter society.

And what a society it would be, imagine it,. No more pedophiles, no more dumbing down things for children or censoring things because 'won't somebody please think of the children', no more kids versions of products.

Ah, what a world ^^

False narrative or truth?  What was the DNC really hiding?

It implies a logical reason to believe any cockamamie idea found on Utube.

There is a conspiracy theory.
The media ignores the theory.
Therefore, the theory is true.

Defcon in Las Vegas this year never happened ... Hillary says so.  And Hillary is G-d ... so is infallible.  And the MSM is all Nazis, all the way down, but lets believe them?

You believe any cockamamie idea from the DNC?  Are you going to volunteer for LBJ's war in Vietnam yet?  He is G-d, because he is a Democrat?

I do sometimes trigger ... others.  This is because the targets are so ... balloon like, a pin prick will send them all over the room.  pfffft.

You simply can't accept anything other than the official propaganda of your party, right?  Which would be fine, if they were telling the truth.  I don't have a party (as anyone would conclude who isn't a Hillarybot).  I asked years ago, which of you are CIA trolls, FBI trolls, DoJ trolls etc.

CIA Evil Mastermind ... Brennan, lost his security clearance today.  Why?  We will never know.

You can hope all the hackers let loose on the Fall election are all Democrats.  Y'all used to be good at turning elections.  Too bad the good D-hackers were asleep at the wheel in Wisconsin etc in Nov 2016.  Otherwise, kiss your D ass goodbye as far as your hopes go.  Hire more 11 year old girls now, while there is still time.  Mayor Daley is dead now, can't help y'all.

The mainstream media organizations have a few tricks up their sleeves to show that they are indeed able to cover things.

Back in the days of newspaper, they would point to an article on the bottom half of page D-11 as proof that they included the story in their paper.  That meant it was covered and exposed just as thoroughly as the article on the top half of page A-1.  Now that they have websites it is the same trick.

What story is on the front page of their website?  Which one do you have to already know is there to find it?  They don't even need to link to it, just to have it on their site at all to say they covered it, which is even less coverage than the bottom half of page D-11.

The problem with this particular story is that hacking the machine requires access to the machine.  Anyone who has any experience with computer security knows you need more than one way to secure your machines, both physical and software safeguards.

I once had someone want to transfer a file to me, and he offered to plug his thumb drive into my laptop.  Did I let him?  Oh hell no.

In this case, I had seen the story on the mainstream press site first, then saw it pop up here with the assertion that the American media doesn't cover it, which is either a baldfaced lie or requires an astounding amount of obliviousness.

There are no American media, just COINTELPRO vs KGB deep plants.  The focus .. it is all about the new tell all book by a fired WH staffer.  The fact that our stupid Fall election will be stolen, doesn't matter.  What matters is what the billionaires who run MSM, want you to see.  And yes, a tiny mention in one small corner of the Internet ... isn't coverage.  It doesn't serve the Yellow Journalism agenda of the Hearst papers.  Headline "Remember the Hillary"!!  I expect all the pacifist-Leftists here to line up for WW III, as soon as the D party declares it.
