Stacey Abrams, the Democratic candidate for governor of Georgia, accused her Republican opponent and the current Secretary of State of Georgia, Brian Kemp, of abusing his power by breaking the accusations of piracy.



The Democratic Party of Georgia said that on Sunday Kemp's office announced that it had "opened an investigation" into the party on Saturday night after what it described, without evidence, as "an unsuccessful attempt to hack the registration system of voters of the state. "



in a burst of declarations sent on Sunday, Rebecca DeHart, executive director of the Democratic Party of Georgia, said that "defamatory statements are 100 percent false" and criticized the measure as a "political trick". party posted two emails in order to show a private individual who pointed out possible vulnerabilities in the systems used by Georgian residents to print sample tickets and registration information that the individual suggested could allow a hacker to steal or manipulate the registration information.



By Monday morning, Abrams took the waves to roll back.



"In fact, I think he invented the charge because he realizes once again that he has left the information of six million voters vulnerable and this happened twice before," Abrams told George Stephanopoulos on "Good Morning America." on Monday, probably in reference to a couple reported data breaches in Georgia in 2015 and 2017 that exposed information about millions of residents.

Stephanopoulos noted that Kemp had refused to appear in the broadcast, but at a rally at the DeKalb Peachtree airport on Monday, Kemp addressed the controversy for the first time and told reporters he was not worried about the perception of the announcement.



"I do not care what it looks like, I'm doing my job," Kemp said. "This is how we would handle any investigation when something like this comes up."



In a statement on Sunday, Kemp's office said they had officially requested the FBI to investigate the matter. The FBI declined to comment. The Department of Homeland Security said on Sunday that the state of Georgia notified the department about the issue, but declined to comment further. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation, the state's independent investigative agency, confirmed Monday that its Georgia Cyber ​​Crime Center will conduct an investigation at the request of Kemp's office.



"The Democratic Party of Georgia will stop at nothing to regain relevance and power in our state," Ryan Mahoney, communications director for Kemp's governor's campaign, said on Sunday. "In an act of desperation, the Democrats tried to expose the vulnerabilities in Georgia's voter registration system, which was a fourth-quarter Hail Mary pass that was intercepted in the end zone, thanks to the systems and protocols established by the Secretary of State Brian Kemp, no "Personal information was violated. These power-hungry radicals must be held accountable for their criminal behavior. "



The Democratic Party of Georgia launched on Twitter on Monday to join Abrams, accusing Kemp of misusing his office to influence the election, and tweeted: "Kemp is trying to cheat the Georgians and the media, just a few hours before the polls open ... It does not work The Georgians can fight against the abuses of power VOTING tomorrow. "



David Cross, a lawyer who has been involved in litigation related to cybersecurity against the Georgia Secretary of State's office, said the same individual who contacted the Democratic Party of Georgia was also alerted to possible vulnerabilities. On Sunday he told ABC News that he also contacted the FBI, in an email exchange he shared with ABC News, and with an outside Kemp lawyer on Saturday.

This is not the first time that Kemp has presented allegations about attempts to infiltrate the secretary of state's computer network. Just days after the 2016 presidential election, Kemp requested a federal investigation by the Department of Homeland Security, citing 10 possible unauthorized attempts by DHS personnel to penetrate the state's firewall.



A report from the DHS Inspector General published in July 2017, concluded that the allegations were not substantiated. The investigation determined that the activity reported by Kemp was the "result of exchanges of normal and automatic computer messages" and that there were no unauthorized intrusion attempts.
