Bug Bytes: Week of Nov 5

This week's election security news highlighted the growing threat of internal threats, as watchdog groups and online researchers warned about Americans using social media to suppress turnout or spread false rumors on Facebook and Twitter. The focus also shifted to vulnerabilities in voting systems, with a Georgia voter registration system being identified as insecure due to its ease of access for hackers. Additionally, an election security expert discovered a reference manual listing critical usernames and passwords for a voting machine vendor's tabulation system, which were easily crackable. Home routers have also been targeted via a Universal Plug and Play vulnerability, while the Bank of England planned a cyber attack exercise to test the financial sector's resilience. As more companies adopt stronger security stances, it is hoped that this will lead to a more secure internet in the future.
