A Practical Approach to Election Hacking: Assume Breach

The midterms are just a month away, and with the potential impact of election hacking still unresolved, it's unsettling that more hasn't been done to ensure election day is secure. The machines used in voting systems are vulnerable to known flaws, and hackers have already demonstrated their ability to breach these systems during DEFCON events. Despite efforts to identify vulnerabilities, many remain unaddressed due to a lack of urgency from companies manufacturing the machines. To mitigate this risk, there should be requirements for test beds to be made available between election cycles and for companies to establish clear vulnerability disclosure programs. Proactive measures, such as bug bounty programs, can also encourage findings and fixes, but ultimately, detecting how systems have already been hacked is crucial in preventing election hacking. As consumers, it's essential to stay vigilant and demand transparency from the companies manufacturing these machines.
