[Phishing] Can the Emmys be Hacked?

---

The above is a video recently uploaded to YouTube by Canadian comedian Nathan Fielder, the star and creator of hit Comedy Central series Nathan For You. In it, Nathan talks about potential security vulnerabilities in the Emmy voting system with election security expert Carsten Schürmann, and it is a great example of how a phishing attack works. Carsten goes through what steps a hacker would have to take in order to target victims and steal their credentials for voting in the Emmy awards, however this is the same process that phishers on Steemit or any other platform use.
