Top officials at a U.S. federal cybersecurity agency are urging a judge not to authorize at this time the release of a report that analyzes Dominion Voting Systems equipment in Georgia, arguing doing so could assist hackers trying to “undermine election security.”
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) was recently provided an unredacted copy of the report, which was prepared by J. Alex Halderman, director of the University of Michigan Center for Computer Security and Society.
The report discusses “potential vulnerabilities in Dominion ImageCast X ballot marking devices,” or electronic voting devices, according to the government.
While CISA supports public disclosure of any vulnerabilities and associated mitigation measures with election equipment, allowing the release of the report at this point “increases the risk that malicious actors may be able to exploit any vulnerabilities and threaten election security,” government lawyers said in a Feb. 10 filing in the case.
The case was brought in 2017 by good-government groups and voters who say the lack of paper ballots undermines the voting process.
U.S. District Judge Amy Totenberg, an Obama nominee overseeing the case, was urged by CISA to reject attempts to release a redacted version of Halderman’s report for now.
CISA officials want to review the information in the report and help Dominion resolve the vulnerabilities identified before the report is released. They said they weren’t able to provide a date by which they’ll be finished.
Totenberg must weigh the request against the wishes of Georgia Secretary State Brad Raffensperger, a Republican and one of the defendants, who called in late January for the release to happen immediately.

This is not suspicious at all...
Never trusted Pence.
“undermine election security.”
I do not think that means what you think it means. To Democrats, “election security” has an entirely different definition.

“Security through Obscurity” is not considered good security by any other developer or devops person I have worked with for any kind of commercial application. If Dominion can’t make its security methods public than they aren’t worth much.

Game over we lose. Funny how everything Trump ends up in front of a a rat judge
We were just talking about this creepy agency on another thread, I had never heard of it!
They appear to issue the official propaganda on mis, dis, and mal information, or at least they produce resources to counter it... in the form of propaganda.
They weigh in heavily on COVID and election “misinformation” - i.e. ideas counter to the Govt narrative.
And now this.
Absolutely!
CISA says on their website that election officials are the trusted authorities.... everything else is misinformation.
That was from a long time ago, so I assume it passed. I guess that would put it in Obama’s term... and now he’s using it hard core.
Wow...
Joetato takes a shot at obstructing justice.
He’ll probably get away with it.
OH, wait, I have an idea:
NEVER USE THOSE STINKING MACHINES IN ANY OTHER ELECTION, ANY TIME, ANY PLACE.
Problem solved
The people manipulating election results don’t need a report to tell them how to hack the machines. They designed and built the machines.
Yep.
Trust no one in government, and especially those who work for government.
