Federal review says Dominion software flaws havent been exploited in elections
Summary
Federal cybersecurity officials have verified there are software vulnerabilities in certain ballot-marking devices made by Dominion Voting Systems, discovered during a controversial Georgia court case, which could in theory allow a malicious actor to tamper with the devices, according to a draft analysis reviewed by CNN. "Of note, states standard election security procedures would detect exploitation of these vulnerabilities and in many cases would prevent attempts entirely. Postelection audits, which compare paper trails with votes recorded on machines, could catch the discrepancy. But election experts say physical access controls and other layers of defense, along with postelection audits, help mitigate the threat of votes being manipulated via cyberattacks. The CISA warning notes most jurisdictions using the machines tested already have adapted the mitigations recommended by the agency.
