This year, voters in 31 of the nation’s 100 largest cities will choose a mayor in municipal elections that historically don’t garner the same numbers in terms of voter turnout as presidential elections.But the makers of a new smartphone voting app think they can make it easier for people to vote. This week, Denver became only the second place in the country to ever allow voting by smart phone.It’s called Voatz. Yes, a weird spelling, but it’s a straightforward concept: it’s an app for voting. “To get through verification, they have to take a ten second selfie video,” said Jocelyn Bucaro of Denver’s elections division, who says the app utilizes an individual’s biometric data—like face recogmition or thumbprint technology. “They have to look at the camera, they have to blink, move their head, so that the system knows it’s not a video of a photo," she said. Bucaro thinks that one day, this will be how we’ll all cast our ballots.“If we want to maintain a democratic system and have as many people participating as possible then some form of this will likely be available for all voters," Bucaro said.Right now, it’s just available for active duty military stationed overseas. But there’s a reason for that. Currently service members have to print, sign, scan, then email the document to election officials.Former FBI cybersecurity expert Andre McGregor said that made them the perfect group to pilot the technology.“When you compare it to the current, everything is better than a PDF sent via email, even fax is better than that,” McGregor said.McGregor is talking about the obvious concern with a voting system like this: security, something he says he was concerned about at first, too.“I had just as many skeptical thoughts as most other people thinking about the idea of voting on a device that’s in your hand.”McGregor looked into the potential pitfalls of the app before it went live with West Virginia’s military voters last year, and the app, which uses block chain technology, exceeded his expectations.He says trying it out on small groups is a good way to make sure it’s ready to go mainstream; disabled voters might be next to try it. 2168

The season of gift giving brings a lot of people happiness, but the price you pay for a present can sometimes be more than you intended. Circadence CTO Bradley Hayes says cybersecurity attacks are on the rise during the holidays.“There’s a lot more online shopping that happens during the holidays, so there’s just a richer field of targets for this,” Chief Technical Officer Bradley Hayes said.The convenience of online shopping is attracting more and more people, but not everyone is familiar with the scams out there putting many at risk.“Just shy of 10 percent of individuals experienced some form of identity theft during the holiday season last year,” Hayes said.That number is expected to rise this year. Hayes says people are more likely to get their data stolen when using simple passwords, or the same password for multiple sites. He says you also need to be cautious of who you choose to store data with because there’s a possibility for any company to be breached.“So if you’re saying ‘save my credit card information', that is a risk that you’re taking for that convenience and it might not be worth it,” Hayes said.The internet has made it so people can fall victim to cybersecurity attacks in everyday life, but if more people understand the motivations and methods scammers are using, cybersecurity attacks might be less successful.So why not use a game to help educate? As a company that specializes in creating cybersecurity learning platforms, Creative Director Cassie Brubaker says Circadence is now rolling out InCyt. It’s a web-based battle strategy game where you experience the cyber world from both an offensive and defensive point of view.“I think the most unique aspect that InCyt really brings to the table is completely removing the intimidation barrier that comes with cybersecurity,” Brubaker said.Brubaker hopes the game will make the topic of cybersecurity easy for everyone to understand covering a wide range of topics.“We cover passwords, email security, bringing your own device into work, social networking, social engineering – what are the aspects of your social life that actually are putting you at risk of a cyber-attack?” Brubaker said.You learn how to find information about somebody like what it means to search social media, or what it means to make a phishing call. Then you learn how that information can be used maliciously.“Oh no, I successfully hacked her!” someone testing the game said.Someone testing the game for the first time says she was almost creeped out learning the ways someone can discover information about you.“Things that I hadn’t really thought of before like people listening to you,” she said.According the Hayes, scammers during the holidays are willing to prey upon people through email, or as a seller on a marketplace website like Amazon. Any unsolicited emails should be ignored, and if something seems like too good of a deal, make sure to use a critical eye and do your research. Otherwise, you may never receive what you buy, or your personal information could be sold.“The holidays are a time when your guard is down. You’re kind of looking at the joy of the world and buying gifts and connecting with family. And that unfortunately is also a really vulnerable time for people to not pay attention to some of the smaller details,” Brubaker said.  3343

The Pentagon is slashing .8 billion in recently passed military funding to finance construction of the president's long-sought U.S.-Mexico border wall. Thursday's move by the Pentagon angered not just Democrats but also GOP defense hawks. It would cut money for National Guard units, shipbuilding accounts and 17 aircraft and transfer it to anti-drug accounts that can finance construction of new wall. The maneuver was announced in “reprogramming” documents provided to lawmakers and came in for harsh criticism by Rep. Mack Thornberry of Texas, the top Republican on the House Armed Services Committee. Democrats slammed the transfers as well, but Trump faced no consequences when making similar transfers last year. 732
