We have Republican incumbent Senator Kelly Ayotte going up against Democratic Governor Maggie Hassan. First issue discussed was cyber security. Both candidates managed to speak for several minutes on this issue without ever mentioning the name of the cyber security problem, namely Windows. Any Windows computer connected to the internet can be secretly taken over, everything on its hard drive transferred to the attackers, malware emailed to every address in the victim's address book, keylogger installed to capture all the victim's passwords, and DDOS attack software installed. Plus other bad stuff.
Windows is so riddled with security holes as to be unfixable. If you want any security at all, you must run something else, Linux or Apple.
Anyhow neither senatorial candidate seemed to be aware of this.
