Snapchat's second-quarter daily active users rose 21 percent to 173 million from an year earlier, falling short of the 175.2 million expected by analysts, according to financial data analytics firm FactSet.

Schurmann said after finding a Wi-fi access point in the voting machine, he used a tool named Wireshark to get the IP address of the device.  As he knew that the machine ran on an old version of Microsoft Windows, he ran a hacking tool named Metasploit. The tool was able to breach the system by “exploiting an old vulnerability” that has never been rectified before. By doing this, he go...
