"Determined Hackers Will Crack Voting Machines, Security Researchers Say"

Harri Hursti and Matt Blaze, founders of the Voting Village at the DefCon security conference in Las Vegas, have stressed the importance of strengthening the security of voting machines ahead of election day. Voting machine vendors need to increase their efforts to identify, analyze, and fix security vulnerabilities that emerge throughout a machine's lifecycle such as those associated with the supply chain of parts used to build such machines. Foreign intelligence agencies are expected to use their tools and resources to exploit these vulnerabilities. This article continues to discuss common myths that have prevented improvements in voting technology, the security vulnerabilities in voting machines that should be addressed by vendors, and what efforts should be made to bolster the security of voting system infrastructure.
