server showed signs

of tampering: Expert

By FRANK BAJAK

BOSTON (AP) — A computer security expert says he found
that a forensic image of the election server central to
a legal battle over the integrity of Georgia elections
showed signs that the original server was hacked.
The server was left exposed to the open internet for at
least six months, a problem the same expert discovered
in August 2016. It was subsequently wiped clean in mid-
2017 with no notice, just days after election integrity activ-
ists filed a lawsuit seeking an overhaul of what they called
the state's unreliable and negligently run election system.
In late December 2019, the plaintiffs were finally able to
obtain a copy of the server's contents that the FBI made
in March 2017 and retained. This Sept. 22, 2016 file photo shows the screen of an electronic voting machine during testing at
the Kennesaw State University Center for Election Systems in Kennesaw, Ga.
