"Alarm Sounded Over Security Risks in Online Voting System"
OmniBallot is a platform approved for online voting in multiple US states. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the University of Michigan have found that OmniBallot is insecure on multiple levels and is susceptible to various degrees of manipulation. Researchers assessed risks connected with three methods of using OmniBallot. The methods were blank ballot delivery, online ballot marking, and online ballot return. Adversaries could change election outcomes without detection. The researchers urge jurisdictions not to deploy OmniBallot's online voting features.
