Diebold voting machines open to virus attack

It appears that the Diebold voting machines are coming under even more scrutiny, and the results are damning.

This time round, the scrutiny is coming from the University of California at Berkeley as part of a “top-to-bottom” review of electronic voting systems commissioned by the California Secretary of State.

An old topic that has been discussed to death and back on sites such as Slashdot, and the results of this review are truly chilling.

The software contains serious design flaws that have led directly to specific vulnerabilities that attackers could exploit to affect election outcomes,” says the report. Basically, the assessment of Diebold’s source code revealed that an attacker need only have limited access to the machines to compromise the entire election.
