Michigan Student Hacks D.C. Voting Site

A week after we posted about the Top 10 College Pranks of All Time, a group of students from the University of Michigan hacked a Washington D.C. voting site. What did they do once they were in? They programmed it to play the Michigan fight song. So why did they target this particular site? They didn't, the websites administrator sent out an open invitation for people to attempt to find vulnerabilities in the website. Well they obviously found one. The site was designed by The Board of Elections in Washington D.C. to give American Service Members and other Americans living abroad an easier way to vote from overseas. NPR has the full story if you would like to know more about it.
