UK voters worried that election will be targeted by hackers
ComputerWeekly | June 06, 2017
According to a survey this week, 40% of Britons fear that the UK general election on Thursday (8 June) might be targeted by hackers. Fears have been stoked by recent alleged attacks on the democratic process in the US. “Claims that Russian hackers had some influence on last year’s US presidential elections have sparked a wave of scepticism around the safety of electronic voting here in the UK,” said Pete Turner, consumer security expert at Avast, which carried out the survey.
