I’m a software architect. I’m horrified that our elections have been handed over to companies that could do anything they want. This architecture, even IF there were true intent on maintaining integrity, is riddled with security attack vectors.
This thing is a security nightmare. Anybody familiar with penetration testing and doing a Threat Analysis and Risk Assessment would look at that diagram and just shake their head.
...and that is IF the goal was to maintain election integrity. The opposite is far more likely. I can only conclude that anyone in a position to buy this system is either incredibly naive or knows exactly what they’re getting.
This must stop NOW.
I work in IT, and that was my first thought as well.
