“The attackers used that (a fish-tank thermometer) to get a foothold in the network,” she recounted. “They then found the high-roller database and then pulled that back across the network, out the thermostat, and up to the cloud.”

Can this really be possible?  It certainly can. And you can blame the Internet of Things.

Ah, so that’s probably the inspiration between the “China hacked voting machines with thermometers”

...I hate to give credence to something made up, but that does remind me how internet of things and voting have messed up together in past.

XKCD 463

...huh. While this is probably nonsense, like Alex Jones conspiracy about gay frogs, I think a potential issue has been brought to my attention.

Still, I don’t think this would work well with voting machines that show you your printed out vote behind protective glass.

Top Hackers Expose Vulnerabilities in Voting Machines for 2024 Election

America’s top hackers have revealed that the voting machines due to be used in the 2024 presidential election have vulnerabilities that allow ballot counts to be manipulated.

[gitmonkey]

“...One vulnerability they discovered—in a high-speed vote-tabulating system used to count votes for entire counties in 23 states—could allow an attacker to remotely hijack the system over a network and alter the vote count, changing results for large blocks of voters. "Hacking just one of these machines could enable an attacker to flip the Electoral College and determine the outcome of a presidential election," the authors of the report warned. The machine in question, the ES&S M650, is used for counting both regular and absentee ballots. The device from Election Systems & Software of Omaha, Nebraska, is essentially a networked high-speed scanner like those used for scanning standardized-test sheets, usually run on a network at the county clerk's office. Based on the QNX 4.2 operating system—a real-time operating system developed and marketed by BlackBerry, currently up to version 7.0—the M650 uses Iomega Zip drives to move election data to and from a Windows-based management system. It also stores results on a 128-megabyte SanDisk Flash storage device directly mounted on the system board. The results of tabulation are output as printed reports on an attached pin-feed printer. The report authors—Matt Blaze of the University of Pennsylvania, Jake Braun of the University of Chicago, David Jefferson of the Verified Voting Foundation, Harri Hursti and Margaret MacAlpine of Nordic Innovation Labs, and DEF CON founder Jeff Moss—documented dozens of other severe vulnerabilities found in voting systems. They found that four major areas of "grave and undeniable" concern need to be addressed urgently. One of the most critical is the lack of any sort of supply-chain security for voting machines—there is no way to test the machines to see if they are trustworthy or if their components have been modified...“

#govbot is one I just keep coming back to from the book of #urfspace on @amazon here: http://www.urfspace.com I do think that algorithms can make life better for all of us... but why does that other 2% sound so troubling?! NO system is perfect. More importantly our #governments need to be far more #scientific. They need to experiment and scientifically assess what works, and stop just making pronouncements based on #belief and #ideology. Some systems are more corruptable than others, but ALL systems can be corrupted, and it is the 1/100 of us who are psychopaths that are the true problem. They will happily corrupt ANY system to their advantage. Capitalism is just the system that is best about factoring in their urges. I think humanity is starting wake up to up to them, and they are realizing that their days are numbered, so they are currently pulling out all the stops to plunge the world back into an age of chaos, where they know they will thrive the best. @realdonaldtrump #donaldtrump @joebiden #vote #vote2020 #voteblue2020 #algorithm #smarttechnology #ai #artificialintelligence #government #governmentcontrol #robot #votingmachine #hacking #hackingdemocracy #politics #politicalmemes #politicalcartoon #politicalhumor #technology #governmentcontracting #perfect #simplythebest #selfdriving #happiness https://www.instagram.com/p/CG8WAGMBifU/?igshid=ywtztgg5cfub
