More money must be spent to shore up the nation's voting system"--Grades 10-12Accelerated Reader AR

In this compelling account of how the Russians hacked the 2016 US election, CBS News Justice and Homeland Security correspondent Jeff Pegues reveals how far the Kremlin poked into voter databases and why it happened. He also investigates the steps taken to shore up election systems in states across the country ahead of the 2018 midterm elections and, indeed, the 2020 presidential election. Based on exclusive interviews with officials from the FBI, and the Department of Homeland Security, and with cybersecurity experts, Kompromat takes readers behind the scenes and into the minds of investigators following the case. Pegues delves into the shadowy world of Russian spies, unraveling the complicated web of contacts between Russian operatives and Trump representatives during and after the campaign. In one chapter, he focuses on Valery Gerasimov, widely believed to be the mastermind behind a Russian cyber strategy designed to influence and disrupt democracies. Evidence is presented showing that the Russians infiltrated not only Democratic Party computer networks in the US, but networks in Ukraine and Europe as well. Consulting with representatives of top cyber security firms, the author discusses what states are doing to protect voting systems in the next midterm elections and beyond. Fascinating and chilling at the same time, Kompromat opens a window into the murky world of espionage, digital warfare, and a newly aggressive Russia brazenly inserting itself into US politics"

Proofiness how you're being fooled by the numbers / by Seife, Charles.(CARDINAL)658194;
Proofiness -- Phony facts, phony figures -- Rorschach's demon -- Risky business -- Poll cats -- Electile dysfunction -- An unfair vote -- Alternate realities -- Propaganda by the numbers -- Appendix A. Statistical error -- Appendix B. Electronic voting -- Appendix C. The prosecutor's fallacy.In Zero, Charles Seife presented readers with a thrilling account of the strangest number known to humankind. Now he shows readers how the power of skewed metrics-or "proofiness"- is being used to alter perception in both amusing and dangerous ways. Proofiness is behind such bizarre stories as a mathematical formula for the perfect butt and sprinters who can run faster than the speed of sound. But proofiness also has a dark side: bogus mathematical formulas used to undermine our democracy-subverting our justice system, fixing elections, and swaying public opinion with lies. By doing the real math, Seife elegantly and good-humoredly scrutinizes our growing obsession with metrics while exposing those who misuse them.
