    What's this about ATM's not getting hacked?

  5. Oohh...I get to rerun a comment.. by pridkett · · Score: 1 · on ATMs Susceptible to Windows Viruses

    Okay, so ATMs in the US run windows. In fact there is one the building my office is in that managed to crash to windows a few months a go. I posted a comment about it with links to movies but I think the movies are dead now. Anyway, this is sorta a rerun of a previous slashdot story.

    From this page:

    The Scene: Carnegie Mellon University
    The Event: A newly installed Diebold Opteva 520

    ATM crashes, then reboots. Suprizingly, it's vanilla-style Windows XP operating system initialized without the actual ATM software.
    The Result: A desktop computer with only a touch screen interface is left wide open for the amusement of the most wired university in the U.S.

    Eschewing more malicious schemes, the first move was to connect to the Internet. This plan proved unsuccessful as there seemed to be no network capability. The situation was complicated in that even typing proved extremely difficult due to the lack of a keyboard. The Character Map program was used to enter text by copy-and-pasting, yet the most that was accomplished by doing so was making the text-to-voice program say, "What, do you think I'm made of money?" Windows Media Player was set up to loop a series of Beethoven, Jazz, and Talking Heads (the sample sound files included with XP) while running a full screen visualization. Finally, an annoyed faculty member in an adjacent office unplugged the machine and dispersed the crowd. The story is humorous until one realizes that Diebold is the leading producer of electronic voting machines. We can all look forward to playing Minesweeper while exercising our citizenship.

  7. Re:Hold Them All Accountable by brianosaurus · · Score: 1 · on California Grills Diebold Over E-Voting Foul-Ups
    Its pretty insane, especially on the heels of last week's article about stealing an election:
    The outcomes of the 20 closest [House of Reps] races would have changed by swinging an average of 2,593 votes each.

    Is that within the margin of the "thousands" that were turned away? By what margin did Bush "win" the election in 2000?

    Looks like Diebold election machines will only be useful as media players. (yes, i know the hack was on a Diebold ATM, but how many scewups does a company get before we stop trusting them with our system of government?)
  8. Speaking of Diebold... by Mikkeles · · Score: 1 · on More E-voting Problems in California
    ... the quality of their ATM machine software also leaves much to be desired :^)

    ([ASIDE] To be fair (though why I should, I don't know!), I believe their ATM division is a purchased company.)

    omfg, this is funnier and funnier! Does XP come with Paint? Gotta love the text-to speech part:

    More info from someone else who was there (in case you missed the post by somebody above).
