In a recent development, the Georgia secretary of state's office managed to repel a cyberattack on the website used by voters to request absentee ballots. The attack, believed to have originated from a foreign country, was thwarted with the assistance of tech firm Cloudflare.
Despite the hackers' attempts to disrupt the website, the state's cyber defenses held strong, ensuring that there was no interruption to voters' ability to request ballots. Gabe Sterling, an official in Georgia's secretary of state's office, confirmed that while the attack did slow down the systems temporarily, it did not prevent them from functioning.
