New Diebold Security Concerns
by TChris
On Thursday, BlackBoxVoting released this report exposing security flaws with Diebold's electronic voting touch-pad terminals.
"It is like the nuclear bomb for e-voting systems," said Avi Rubin, computer science professor at Johns Hopkins University. "It's the deal breaker. It really makes the security flaws that we found (in prior years) look trivial."
States have been slow to respond to the problem, as this report describes. Pennsylvania was the first state to recognize the need to act. Iowa and California have also directed local election officials to take additional security steps to prevent unauthorized software from being loaded into the machines.
