The [Monday] Papers"Three years after Illinois' voter registration database was infiltrated by Russian hackers, Illinois and local officials are spending millions to upgrade the cyber defenses protecting voters and their ballots leading up to the 2020 election," the Tribune reports. "The June 2016 breach of the state's voter database remains the warning sign for election system vulnerability, with national security experts now saying all 50 states had been targeted for Russian intrusion. At least 21 states reported being contacted by addresses associated with Russia, largely by scanning public websites, but Illinois' data breach was the most significant. "All told in Illinois, personal information involving 76,000 voters was viewed, including names, addresses, partial Social Security numbers, dates of birth and driver's license numbers. State election officials contacted the victims and provided steps to take on identity theft. No one contacted the state attorney general's office to say his or her information had been compromised." * This is what really struck me, though: State officials dispute some of the statements made about the extent of the Illinois breach in the heavily redacted Senate intelligence panel's report released last month. I wonder what accounts for the difference between the U.S. Senate report and what state officials say. Seems important to reconcile. * Meanwhile . . . "State election officials acknowledge that hacking attempts to their systems continue to this day but say they so far have been rebuffed." - Sub Flub The problem is most acute at schools serving low-income and black students. They are twice as likely as all other schools to have a yearlong teacher vacancy. Chicago's 28 schools with majority white student populations had no yearlong vacancies. Now, why would that be? "Substitute teachers can turn down any school assignment." Oh. - Net Bet "We are currently exploring and researching expansion of protective netting," team spokesman Julian Green said by e-mail. "No decision has been made to date. Julian Green, you are Today's Worst Person In Chicago. But Tribune, for the zillionth time, why accept an e-mail statement that allows the "speaker" to avoid actual questions, including questions raised by the . . . e-mail statement?
