Georgia elections official says cyberattack 'slowed' elections website

Georgia‘s election website experienced a cyberattack earlier this month, affecting its online absentee ballot system.

Cyber Security company Cloudflare caught the attack before it could take the website offline completely within weeks of the election. Gabriel Sterling, chief operations officer to Georgia’s Secretary of State office, said it was a “probing attack” likely from “a foreign power or a foreign entity.”
