Michelangelo Sidagni, NopSec’s Co-Founder and Chief Technical Officer, was quoted in a recent Wall Street Journal article, “South Carolina May Prove a Microcosm of U.S. Election Hacking Efforts”. “The DHS reports don’t indicate that hackers penetrated South Carolina’s election systems. The type of scan that the DHS conducted is generally used to identify weak spots, rather than determine whether an intrusion occurred”, said Michelangelo Sidagni, chief technology officer and co-founder of the cybersecurity firm NopSec. “It’s like saying ‘I’m more susceptible to catch a cold,’ ” said Mr. Sidagni, an expert on vulnerability assessments. “When I actually catch the cold, that’s the exploit.”
