| IG Investigating Obama Admin Cyber Attacks On Georgia Election System |
| 2017-01-26 |
| [Daily Caller] Feds have launched an investigation into why the Department of Homeland Security hacked into the Georgia state governmental network, including its election system, The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group has learned. John Roth, inspector general for DHS, wants to know why the agency broke protocol on its way to 10 unprecedented attacks on the system overseen by Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp -- who is also one of the most vocal critics about the Obama administration’s attempt to designate local and state election machinery as part of federal "critical infrastructure." A Jan. 17 letter from Roth notified Kemp his office was officially "investigating a series of ten alleged scanning events of the Georgia Secretary of State’s network that may have originated from DHS-affiliated IP addresses." A firewall in Georgia’s system thwarted each attempt. Former DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson and Kemp have clashed over a federal government designation of election systems as "critical infrastructure." Kemp called it "political power play to federalize elections." |

| #3 Nothing wrong with a security scan as long as they let you know who they are, when they're gonna do it, from which IP address they're gonna do it and they share the results. Other wise, treat them just like you would any other hacker and block them with your firewall. |
