Worst Ever Security Flaw in Diebold Voting Machine

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the oh-but-that's-a-feature dept.

WhiteDragon writes "The folks at Open Voting Foundation got their hands on a Diebold AccuVote TS touchscreen voting machine. They took it apart (pictures here), and found the most serious security flaw ever discovered in this machine. A single switch is all that is required to cause the machine to boot an unverified external flash instead of the built-in, verified EEPROM."
