Dear County Election Supervisor: We've Got To Talk About Konnech
The article discusses the controversy surrounding the recent arrest of Konnech CEO, Eugene Yu, on charges of fraudulently tricking a county in California into signing a contract that gave the company access to sensitive election information that was later sent to China. The article notes that county election systems are part of the national security infrastructure, and any breach by a foreign power is a direct national security threat. It also highlights the need for law enforcement action to determine whether the breach occurred due to negligence or espionage and explore the legal relief available to affected counties and individuals. The article also mentions Tarrant County's discovery that Konnech was lying about utilizing the Microsoft Azure cloud as the host for the county's election data, leading to the immediate termination of EMS contract negotiations with them.
