Sure, it's SQLi, but I'm not sure why you'd minimize her effort.  According
to the village's Twitter account, she changed the vote tallys from a
replica of the site.  https://twitter.com/VotingVillageDC  It would be nice
if the media reported on the recommendations that come from the findings,
but we all know that's not how the media operates.

So I don't know a ton about the details of voting machines, but I'm pretty
sure what happened at the DEFCON voting village is not being represented at
all accurately in the media, and I'm curious why nobody in the community is
pushing back on it, specifically I think we have a duty not to be used as a
bludgeon in various uncouth political wars.

I don't think an 11yo hacked into anything close to a replica of the
Florida Election site. I think they followed a script to hit up a sample
vulnerable web page with SQLi.

Does anyone have more information on what exactly went down?
