A ransomware attack recently hit Georgia county government and reportedly disabled a database used to verify voter signatures.
A ransomware attack hit a Georgia county government early this month and disabled a database used to verify voter signatures in the authentication of absentee ballots. It is a common process to validate absentee ballots sent by mail by analyzing signatures.
The media pointed out that this is the first reported case of a ransomware attack against a system used in the incoming 2020 Presidential election.
