Critical Security Hole Found in Diebold Machines
ckswift writes "From security expert Bruce Schneier's blog, a major security hole has been found in Diebold voting machines." From the article: "The hole is considered more worrisome than most security problems discovered on modern voting machines, such as weak encryption, easily pickable locks and use of the same, weak password nationwide. Armed with a little basic knowledge of Diebold voting systems and a standard component available at any computer store, someone with a minute or two of access to a Diebold touch screen could load virtually any software into the machine and disable it, redistribute votes or alter its performance in myriad ways."
It looks like somebody with something intelligent to say beat you to it. That's like, double-burn.
Better luck next time.

Last year I was in a restroom in the Chicaco O'Hare airport. I found a leather briefcase that had been left behind, and I was the only one around. So I opened the briefcase to find who it belonged to, and I found a stack of business cards identifying the owner as Wally O'Dell, Diebold CEO and Chairman of the Board. I try to be a good Boy Scout, so I took it over to airport security, and found a very frantic Mr. O'Dell. He pulled out his wallet and asked if I wanted a reward, and I said no thanks.
