How to steal an election… Many of them.. https://t.co/Zy6QyIL7wP

Video Transcript AI Summary

A computer science professor explains how a voting machine can be easily manipulated by gaining physical access to it. By connecting a computer to the machine's serial port, one can rewrite the code and control the election results. The professor also highlights the lack of security measures on these machines, making them vulnerable to hacking. Another expert shares their experience of being left alone with voting machines after an election, emphasizing how easily someone could insert malware into them. The central count scanner discussed is widely used in America for counting ballots. The speakers mention the ease of obtaining the machine's software from a Russian server and the numerous individuals who have access to the machines, including potential adversaries. They conclude that the multitude of possible hacks and entry points make it unlikely that someone isn't taking advantage of these vulnerabilities.

Speaker 0: Hello. I'm a professor of computer science at Georgia Tech. How do we work? It looks like he has a USB connection into the scanner. Speaker 1: The the serial console on the back gives us a wrench out. Speaker 0: That means you have control of the of the machine once you Speaker 1: I have full control of that, and then we can change the results of what it's scanning. My computer is connected to the machine. This is a serial cable, and it's connected to the back of the machine. Take off the back of the machine, and there's a serial port, and that gives a full root access with no password on the app. Speaker 0: There's no security subsystem on this one? Speaker 1: Nope. There's no password on it. With this kind of access, you could rewrite the code that's running on there and get it to count votes in whatever way you want it. You would do this in advance of election night and then wait for the results come in. You could control the election results. Either way, as long as I had physical access to either plug something in or take off the back But you just need that access briefly? Once. Yes. Very briefly. About how long? If you had this all prepped and ready to go a minute, Speaker 2: this it's easily possible for, somebody to get into these machines because they're unsecured for such long periods of time. I have done research on and personally watched 150 elections, at least. 2 of our experts and I went to the closing of the polls in one of the recent elections. At the end of the closing of the polls, the poll workers left us there with about 6 voting machines by ourselves. I was with 2 guys who could have gotten into those machines in a matter of seconds and put in malware? Speaker 3: The machine we're in front of is a central count scanner. It's the ES and S Model 650. It's, to our knowledge, the most widely deployed central count scanner in America. Anytime you do early voting or provisional voting or anytime you're in a state where they do central tabulation of all the ballots, so they bring them to one place, this is the kind of high speed scanner they would use to count ballots. Historically, these machines were examined, and they determined there was a there was a number of serious problems with them by virtue of messing with the Zip disk. Just turn it on for 3 minutes and stick a disk in, wait 1 minute, and then walk away. You're able to change the behavior of the machine any way you want, including changing the results of an election. Speaker 1: It's probably easier to do all of this by just Speaker 0: plug Speaker 1: in is So this probably came from Speaker 0: a server or something else. Speaker 1: I I have no idea where where they're getting their programs. Speaker 3: We downloaded a image of the operating system, the software that runs on this machine from a Russian server. Speaker 1: How many people might have access to stick in as if this like that? Speaker 3: It would be everyone from elections officials to people who run the storage facilities, volunteers in the election, security guards, you name it. There's gonna be tens of thousands of people who have access to the machine in that fashion. And our adversaries definitely have this machine in Russia, Period. Speaker 2: There are so many possible hacks And so many possible vectors for entry. It's hard to believe that someone's not taking advantage of it.
