TN-SEN: Bredesen Tells FBI Campaign Was Hacked

Former Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen’s (D) campaign for U.S. Senate told the FBI that it fears it has been hacked, amid growing concern that candidates in the 2018 election could be targets of cyberattacks, the AP reports.

“The possible hack comes amid warnings from U.S. officials that the 2018 midterm elections could face additional cyber meddling from Russia and others, from both domestic and international sources.”

Equicor. A health insurance company that was eventually bought out by Cigna. They had a Medicare contract. I was involved in Mainframe and processing troubleshooting. The man knows his stuff about algorithms and computer-related anything. He's not just crying wolf or going along with the crowd. He is a smart individual.

I'm sure we'll all be told how important it is to vote. Even though our votes have already been cast, and the results predetermined.

Nice way to run a so-called Democracy.
