/mlpol/ - My Little Politics

..Fucking shit..! On top of being an issue that threatens the legitimacy of our elections, this'll also fuel the "muh Russians hacked the election" narrative.

I thought this narrative was dead horse grounded into meat. How can this still be a thing?

There is no such thing as an unhackable computer. All nations hack other nations. The Russia narrative is to stop the nationalists/patriots from defending Trump when they "take him out". The insistence on muh Russia is to remove patriots from the chessboard.

>>56882
The hacker community have been talking about, and demonstrating, the insecurity of voting machines for 10-15 years now. It'll continue to be a thing until they are made safe. (but they'll probably never be made safe)

I guess if lefty media is prepared to listen now that the issue fits in with their narrative, that's at least one positive thing to come out of the "Russia hacked the election" nonsense.

If you want to see real-time nation to nation hacking go here and see how bad things are in "cyberspace"

Remember when they were all claiming that the system was secure and couldn't possibly be rigged? They forgot all about that now.

>>56876
The report entirely fails to mention the volumes of lulz that were had that day

>>56882
Never underestimate the stupidity of these people.

[HILLARY]
In the dark of the night I was tossing and turning
And the nightmare I had was as bad as can be --
It scared me out of my wits --
A country falling to bits!
Then I opened my eyes
And the nightmare was...me!!
I was almost the most powerful woman in amer-ica.
When the people betrayed me they made a mistake!
My rise would make them all pay
But one dumb man's in my way!
Evil Nazi's, beware,
Hillary is awake!

[CNN]
Oh the evil alt-right we will """report""" them!
Whatever they say, they have to be wrong!
Aah...

[HILLARY]
my Presidency will be sweet

[HILLARY AND CNN]
When our """report""" is complete!

[ALL]
Oh the evil alt-right

[HILLARY]
they'll be gone!
I can feel that my powers are slowly returning!
Tell the deep state that the people cant think for themselves!
Soon the Pieces will fall into place
I'll even see Russia fall into place!
Do Svidaniya, Putin, Your Grace!
Farewell...

[ANTI-FA]
at peaceful events ANTI-FA will strike them!

[HILLARY]
Terrorism is the least I can do!

[ANTI-FA]
all peaceful events ANTI-FA will screw.
Ooh!

[HILLARY]
Soon they will kneel, For my deep-state is real.

[ALL]
Oh the evil alt-aight!

[HILLARY]
they'll be through!

[ANTI-FA]
In the dark of the night
ANTI-FA will find them
Find them!
Ooh!
In the dark of the night our terror comes true.
Doom them!

[HILLARY]
Dear Trump, here's a sign --

[HILLARY AND ANTI-FA]
You need to fall into line!

[ALL]
If we play this just right...
If we play this just right...
If we play this just right...

[HILLARY]
Come my networks,
Rise up my newscasters,
Make their "racism" shine!
Report more now,
Yes, lie ever faster!

[ALL]
If we play this just right...
If we play this just right...
If we play this just right...

[HILLARY]
The country is mine!

hopefully now we can go to voter ID law and paper ballots

>>57056
B-but asking people to show who they are before they vote is racist...

>>57056

>BULLETIN: Voting Machines Blasted by Scientists, Hacked by Author
What follows is a set of discoveries, the result of the first-ever public examination of a secret, proprietary computer program used to count votes in 37 states. A hundred dollar item allows anyone to stuff the ballot box; remote access has been left unprotected, encryption keys have been made available to hackers, and passwords, audit logs and votes have been compromised.

>WHY THE BIG DEAL?

>You can overwrite votes. You can vote more than once. The system is vulnerable to both inside and outside attacks. Intruders can overwrite audit logs. You can assign passwords to all your friends.

>“Our analysis shows that this voting system is far below even the most minimal security standards applicable in other contexts.” -- Researchers from Johns Hopkins and Rice Universities, in paper just released (pdf format): "Analysis of an Electronic Voting System"

Is 14 years enough time to deal with the problem? Or does government like the ability to control the outcome remotely?

Ikr? After all that drama they flared up about the other side plausibly not accepting the results of the election, now they're bitching about it like children.

High Profile Security Conferences may now be a publicity tool. The technology, technique, and knowledge has been around before DEFCON. People hacking it in DEFCON is just a repeat, and if people don't think carefully presenting the facts, this can have a LARP effect.
