US mid-terms: Hackers expose âstaggeringâ voter machine flaws
A report outlines major flaws in voting hardware, weeks before US mid-term elections.
One ballot machine, used in 23 US states, carries a cybersecurity flaw that was reported over a decade ago, the hackers claim.

Election Day is going to be intense.
The company says hackers exploited the âView Asâ feature on the service.
Another TPM tech facepalm awarded. From Gizmodo:
The breach allowed attackers to take over the accounts of affected users.
Are you saying that the two statements are not compatible? I donât see that. What are you getting at?
Itâs {AP}. Why TPM prints their stuff is another issue.
Faceplant strikes againâŚ
You donât get that the single most important news content is that 50M users had their accounts hijacked? Seriously?
For the price of 3 prime subscriptions, TPM could use an existing automated search service to identify key content missing from these releases. But TPM hates tech, will never attempt to understand tech, and will never make even the smallest effort to accurately report tech news.
John Oliver, et alia, deserve to be heard re FACEBOOK as toilet : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjPYmEZxACM
I donât know about this but they are indifferent to many things. Democrats for instance.
I âseriouslyâ do get that this is important. I simply did not understand your post. In particular I did not understand what your beef was with TPMâs reporting. So I asked for clarification. Still curious, btw.
Computerized voting is unnecessary. You can use stand alone electronic machines that record votes, but it neednât be connected to the Internet.
âVote by mailâ with drop off points at government facilities is still the least âhackable.â
