Today's Story Highlights

Def Con Voting Machine Hacks Ruffle Feathers
Hackers cracked into a wide array of voting equipment Def Con's Voting
Village, an event held Friday at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Last year, conference goers hacked five machines and an e-poll book of
registered voters. This year, in addition to voting machines, tabulators
and smart card readers were available for hacking. Websites weren't off
limits, either.

What Can Chrome 68 Teach Us About Election Security?
If you're a technologist, you've probably noticed a few new things
associated with Chrome 68's release last month. One of the more notable
changes is that it now uses a "not secure" indicator for any site not
using HTTPS. So instead of providing a notification when a site is
HTTPS, it now provides the user with a warning when it isn't. One of
those groups is users of government websites.

The Internet's Truth vs. Fake News Showdown
Facebook earlier this week pulled the plug on the official page for Alex
Jones, host of Infowars and noted conspiracy theorist. YouTube quickly
followed, removing Infowars and Jones' videos. Facebook's move followed
Apple's decision to pull five of Infowars' six podcasts -- including the
"Alex Jones Show" and "War Room" -- from the iTunes and Podcasts apps.

The Wiggly Line Between Journalism and PR
The line between journalism and public relations can be fuzzy, and news
organizations have wrestled with that problem for some time. However,
that line recently has become more blurred than ever, with some
publications enlisting armies of nonprofessional scribes to satisfy an
insatiable appetite for content. It's easy to understand why the problem
has mushroomed.
