Election experts say giving Maricopa County routers to election auditors could be security threat Jen Fifield, Arizona Republic UP NEXT
Routers serve as the mail carrier of a computer network: They deliver messages using maps of networks and computer addresses.
Think of it like a mail carrier who relies on maps and addresses to get mail to the right place.
Given access to the mail carriers or routers information, it would be easier for a bad actor to get access to a person s mail, or to target the information inside the network.
That s an analogy one tech expert – Matt Bernhard, a research engineer at Voting Works, a nonpartisan nonprofit that advocates for open source election technology gave while explaining the importance of keeping Maricopa County s routers secure.
FORT MYERS Digital marketing firm Vectra Digital named Albert Arguelles CEO, replacing co-founder and former CEO Matt Bernhardt.
Bernhardt will remain with the marketing and web design agency, but will be “stepping back to allow Arguelles to bring Bernhardt s vision for Vectra to life,” according to a statement. The move comes two weeks after a Vectra Digital sister company, Stickboy, which focuses on custom software, apps and managed IT services, also named a new CEO, Felix Lluberes. Bernhardt was previously CEO of Stickboy as well, a company he founded in 2007.
Arguelles, meanwhile, co-founded website design and digital marketing agency iPartnerMedia in 2012 a firm Vectra Digital acquired in early 2020. A former paratrooper and U.S. Army Combat Engineer, Arguelles was a Business Observer 40 Under 40 for winner in 2014. A native of Havana, Cuba, Arguelles was named president of Vectra after the merger.
