A former 40 year Atheist analyzes Atheism, without resorting to theism, deism, or fantasy. *** If You Don't Value Truth, Then What DO You Value? *** If we say that the sane can be coaxed and persuaded to rationality, and we say that rationality presupposes logic, then what can we say of those who actively reject logic? *** Atheists have an obligation to give reasons in the form of logic and evidence for rejecting Theist theories.
"has yet to explain at least nine other suspected network scans"
Sounds as if someone at the DHS or one of its contractors was just running a port scan; beyond that, nothing in the article suggests any attempt was made to penetrate the systems. Whether the elections systems were specifically targeted, or whether the culprit was just running an automated bot randomly selecting IP addresses, is not clear. My own server logs collect dozens of these scans a week, mostly coming out of China.
At this point it seems a bit over-the-top to call them "cyberattacks". This needs to be thoroughly investigated, and if it's determined someone was deliberately targeting the KY systems heads should roll for, if nothing else, bone-headed stupidity.
