Podcasts about election hacking

Civil litigation in Georgia revealed that operatives hired by allies of Donald Trump illegally accessed and copied critical election software following the 2020 election. This wasn't just an isolated incident but a multi-state effort that spread to places like Pennsylvania, Colorado, and beyond. The stolen software, which is responsible for recording and counting votes, was shared across states, compromising election systems in key swing states. Despite the severity of these actions, which posed significant threats to the integrity of future elections, federal authorities—specifically the DOJ and FBI—failed to act. Even after being alerted about these breaches for years, both agencies took no meaningful steps to investigate or halt the illicit activity. This inaction mirrors their failure to prevent the events of January 6, 2021, raising serious concerns about their commitment to protecting the electoral process and our very democracy.  Election security experts, including Susan Greenhalgh from Free Speech for People, have been sounding the alarm for years, urging the government to take action. They argue that this breach, coupled with the failure of federal authorities to intervene, poses a real threat to the future of U.S. democracy. Without accountability and a thorough investigation into the stolen software, it's impossible to ensure the integrity of upcoming elections. The lack of response from federal agencies raises questions about their willingness to protect election systems from both internal and external threats.  This breach should not be ignored. It's time for a full investigation and immediate action to safeguard our elections. Greenhalgh joins Gaslit Nation in this urgent interview, before a live-audience of listeners, to discuss a skeptic's guide to why Vice President Kamala Harris must call for a recount in key states in the 2024 election, before it's too late.  To amplify this urgent call-to-action:  SHARE THIS SOCIAL MEDIA POST: Listen to @gaslitnation's urgent interview w/Susan Greenhalgh of Free Speech for People.

After the 2016 election – and Russian hacking attempts targeted at local election offices – hundreds of local governments across the country made changes.Among them, installing something called an Albert sensor. It's designed to warn of hacking attempts.But in Washington State, this cybersecurity tool has become the subject of suspicion on the political right. It's part of a trend that one voting expert described as "using the language of election integrity to dismantle the infrastructure of election integrity."The Northwest News Network's Austin Jenkins and NPR's Miles Parks explain what's happening.In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.Email us at considerthis@npr.org.

Big news in terms of finding out what Russia did to hack our 2016 elections may be revealed soon folks.. Thanks to US Intelligence Vladislav Klyushin was extradited to the US to face insider trading accusations and the story reads like something out of a spy novel.

Good morning everybody! I was on WGAN this morning with Matt Gagnon and started off this morning talking about Iran and the letters sent to some of US Voters. They were purported to be from the Proud Boys but were from Iran.  We also discussed a bit about Election Hacking and then got into, How safe are our USBs? Here we go with Matt. These and more tech tips, news, and updates just visit - CraigPeterson.com --- Automated Machine Generated Transcript: Craig Peterson: [00:00:00] Typically what's been happening is that the polling places go to the Secretary of State's website, enter in the information.  Then the Secretary of State's office now goes through all of that posted on their website. The Feds have been going to the Secretary of State's website and pulling it from there. So there is a risk of hacking. Good Morning, everybody. Craig Peterson here. Thanks for joining me. I really appreciate it. And if you could, if you haven't already, make sure you do hit that subscribe button, it really helps get the show numbers up and helps other people find this. This morning I was on with Mr. Matthew  and we spoke this morning a little bit about the whole technology and election thing that's going on. Man, it's impossible to not know there's an election going on, isn't it? So here we go with Matt. Matt Gagnon: [00:00:59] Seven 36 WGAN morning news on a Wednesday morning. What do we usually do at this time? Oh, I know we talk to Craig Peterson. He's with us right now. Craig. How are you, sir? Craig Peterson: [00:01:09] Hey, good morning. I'm doing just fine. Hey, did you hear there's an election going on? Matt Gagnon: [00:01:15] There's an election going on? That is brand new information. Craig Peterson: [00:01:19] Bad guys are trying to do stuff. Matt Gagnon: [00:01:21] I know. Craig Peterson: [00:01:22] Somehow the two met its like chocolate and peanut butter. Matt Gagnon: [00:01:26] Oh man. Now I'm hungry. Craig, speaking of. Iran and, threatening emails being sent to Democrats, I would say that would fit into the category you were just talking about here. Tell me more about this story. Craig Peterson: [00:01:37] This is a big deal, frankly, and things have gotten so bad, in fact. Louisiana has called out their national guard, but here's what's going on. there are emails that people have been receiving and they say something that's frankly, a little bit disturbing. It says you will vote for Trump on election day or we will come afterward. Yeah, exactly. And supposedly they're from this group that has the, I don't know, people have been hearing a little bit about lately, but it's supposedly the proud boys that are sending this out. People have been pretty upset by this because there have been some legitimate threats to people. Is this legitimate? Is it not legitimate? it came out just this last week from the Director of National Intelligence, John Ratcliffe. That in fact of this is election interference and it is coming from Iran. Which is a real big deal. He also said, as well as, some other us officials, that Russia is still the major threat to the election. We know that North Korea has been involved, China's been involved.  What it shows is, frankly, you don't have to hack into a computer in order to mess with an election. Matt Gagnon: [00:02:58] The other thing that bugs me about this, and I'm sorry I'm gonna have to get on my soapbox here a little bit, Craig.  I think you know about this, as well, when you're talking about so many of the things that I've heard about election hacking this year. This is one of the things that I've heard an awful lot about which is that Iran has, or Russia has the voter list. They've got our registered voter list and they're going to use it to mess with us. They must've hacked into computers somewhere, some servers to get it. Maybe at the DNC or the RNC. They got the data and the information about voters from it. Dude, I have that information on my computer. Like seriously.  Like you can buy voter lists. The voter list is not something that's an ultra-secure thing that needs to be broken into. It's something that is basically public information. If you'd like to get it, you have to pay for it, but you can get it. So if Russia wanted it or if Iran wanted it and they wanted to have a list of people and where they live and what their voter registration status is, their party membership, all that stuff. What they've done in the last four elections, you can just get it. It's not hard. The reason I'm bringing it up, Craig, is because I think that it manipulates the news coverage. From people covering politics that don't understand anything about politics, frankly.  they're covering it as media outlets and it's disappointing to see that kind of thing. Craig Peterson: [00:04:04] Well, ABC News had a report here, so we now know what's really going on. Miryousefi told them, quote, Iran has no interest in interfering in the US election and no preference for the outcome. So we now know what's going on. Obviously a different Iran. Obviously, these people were hallucinating. But you're right. The information, if you combine the voter lists now with the information that's been stolen from companies, like Equifax out there, you can now tie all of that together. So you've got their email address. You've got their physical address, who they are. They could interfere in such big ways, right? This is just so minor. Matt Gagnon: [00:04:46] You don't need to break into computers. Oh, let's just say, you see your Russia and you actually do want to mess with American elections and target people and stuff like that. There are zero requirements that you have to break into anything to get that information. You can literally buy a magazine subscription information and you can basically do what the political parties do, which is layer voter registration data with a bunch of consumer information and data and come up with a model of who the voter is and what their life looks like. They can do that themselves. I could do that if I had enough money. It's very simple and easy to do that.  It doesn't require some sort of a security violation in order to occur. So if you're worried about them, trying to manipulate the elections by, cleverly marketing to us. The security of computers is not really going to be a part of the equation. In my opinion. I think it, is at the endpoint because you've got all the local polling places, reporting it to the Secretaries of State in all of our 50 States and territories, and then the secretaries of state have now brought it to the Feds. But how does that mechanism actually work in the various States? And what's your whole works here in Maine, but typically what's been happening is that the polling places go to the secretary of state's website, enter in the information and then the secretary of state's office that's now going through all of that. Posts on their website. So the Fed has been going to the Secretary of State's website and pulling it from there. So there is a risk of hacking, but I really hope that people are actually also picking up the phone and checking the polling place and saying, Hey, is it legit? But your involvement also. With politics over the years, you know that there are people at every polling place that are double-checking the numbers, double-checking them. Craig Peterson: [00:06:37] The secretary of state is publishing. So I agree with you. I think overall we're pretty safe and this just goes right back to phishing. Be careful about the email you get. Cause it's not necessarily legit. Matt Gagnon: [00:06:51] Said, Craig. Before we let you go, I do want to ask you how safe your USB drive is? That's the other story that we had here that we wanted to chat about here this morning? Craig Peterson: [00:06:58] Yeah, there are quite a few things to be concerned about, particularly in this day where we're working from home. We're taking that USB drive and we're moving it between computers, home, computers, work computers. That is how we put the Iranian nuclear program about five years behind was one little USB thumb drive. So be very careful if we're using that as a backup for sensitive documents. We might leave it somewhere, which could be bad. They are also used very commonly for passing viruses around. So if you find a drive at your favorite coffee shop in the morning, be very careful because it may have something nasty on it. Not necessarily because they're trying to, the US and Israel trying to bring down your nuclear program. It might've been contaminated before you even got it and now it's there on your computer. So don't use them randomly. Be very careful. There's a lot of reasons why you should not be using regular drives. There are USB thumb drives that are encrypted. So if you accidentally leave it somewhere, it doesn't really matter. If you're using a Mac or you're using a Windows PC in both cases, there are options for encrypting them. So they're very careful, only use fresh ones, right out of a package that is probably safe. I'm not going to tell you probably, yeah, there have been USB drives that were shipped with malware. Pre-installed accidentally because of the machine they used to format them. Hadn't been infected. Dangerous. Matt Gagnon: [00:08:42] These are the very things you're going to hear. Craig Peters on talking about on Saturday. Of course, he has to show there, you can hear it at one o'clock at this very station. Appreciate it, Craig, as always. Thanks so much for joining us and we'll talk to you again very soon. Craig Peterson: [00:08:52] Hey, take care of Matt. Bye-bye. All right. So that's it from my radio hits most likely this week and I will be back this weekend. Thanks, everybody. And thanks to those people who sent me an email yesterday, letting me know what's going on. How they listen? How you consume? If you haven't had a chance or if you wanted a copy of that Hunter Biden email that I put together, talking about what to do with your computer when you take it in for repairs. Just drop me a note. Drop me a line. Me at Craig Peterson. dot com take care. Bye-bye. ---  More stories and tech updates at: www.craigpeterson.com Don't miss an episode from Craig.

In this episode we're talking about just one state. One which, depending on which way it leans, might bring the entire electoral college with it. One which, as of this writing, is absolutely, positively, neck and neck. Dead-heat. A few votes one way or the other could swing it. In other words: this is the kind of state that cannot afford to be hacked. But might be.

Hey everybody. Welcome back. You're listening to Craig Peterson. I've talked about the likelihood of hackers being able to influence, I mean, in a very big way, our election here in the US and I've kind of poo-pooed it, because as a general rule with 50 state elections, it would be very difficult for a foreign adversary of some sort or somebody that just wants to mess with us to really cause havoc with our election. Of course, it looks like we're going to cause enough havoc ourselves falls because of this lockdown that we did. All of the crazy things we're trying to change at the very last minute with our voting this time around. This is going to be one heck of an election season. Ah, I'm not looking forward to it. I have been warning about some of the problems that have existed with  Secretary of State office websites. Some of these Secretaries of State are putting up websites that allow the local County chairs, city, et cetera, to upload the vote tallies via the web. To the Secretary of State now, on the whole, that sounds pretty good. It seems pretty reasonable. You might remember what happened in Iowa early 20 20. Yeah. Where the Democrats decided they were going to use this app for tallying all of the votes. It wasn't being used for voting, but it was being used for the tally who won. We actually don't know who won the Iowa Democrat caucuses. Isn't that right? Just amazing, because of the technology and the problems behind it. Well, when we're talking now about state hackers, countries that have massive hacking campaigns, ongoing. Yeah. How much could they mess up our election by getting into the Secretaries of State websites? Because not only are the 50 States responsible for running the elections. Tallying the votes, but they're also responsible to give that data, hopefully, good data, the federal government. So how does the federal government get that data? Well, they tend to get it by going to the 50 Secretaries of State websites nowadays. And that's where my big concern comes from. Obviously, I do not like these touch screen voting machines. I know I am a good old fashioned writing on a piece of paper or the kind of the heavier paper, a hundred-plus pound stuff. You fill in an oval for who you want and then that card you put it in the machine. The machine counts it. I love those because the bottom line it's completely auditable.  I talk a lot about audits because so many of my customers are getting audited because of federal regulations, but this is different.  Let's say the machine tallied, a hundred votes for Trump, and 120 votes for Biden. A spot audit could be conducted. So you take all of the cards that were fed into that machine and you manually count them. Okay. This is obviously a Trump vote. Okay. That's obviously a Biden vote. So you're going through, you're seeing what the votes were for each person and you can now say, okay, it came up the counts the same, and you know, that machines counter right for what you were looking for was correct. Those cards can then be taken later on and you can have a Republican and a Democrat and a libertarian or whatever the parties are in your state watch as those individual ballots are counted because a physical ballot exists. That's just incredibly important. They can't hack a pencil. I love that saying. Right? I think it was our Secretary of State that said that you can't hack a pencil. I'm not sure that's not all entirely true, but it's mostly true. But you can hack some of the systems that are behind the reporting, according to the FBI and the Department of Homeland security right now. An article by Brooke Crothers is pointing out that hackers and they're saying possibly nation-state actors, which means who China, Russia, Cuba, North Korea, Venezuela, Brazil, not so much in Venezuela, not so much nowadays, either because their economy is in shatters because they are a blank country, a socialist country. Exactly. So their economies in shatters. Brazil's in shatters looks like we might get a trade agreement by the way, with Brazil kind of interesting, but. They are saying now that there is no evidence so far, this is a Homeland security, that the integrity of the elections data was compromised. And they're saying that it does not appear these targets are being selected because they are part of our election apparatus. In other words, wait a minute, guys. Our secretaries of state's website, other systems are being hacked just as a part of a random hack. What happens if they get ransomware? And what happens if a nation-state really does want to go after them this week. We saw six spies arrested, Chinese spies who were stealing information critical to the United States of America. They lie on their visa applications. You know, that's why right now the State department's saying you might not want to go to China because China's threatening to kidnap Americans over there and hold them hostage in exchange for these spies. It's not like the old days where we would catch some Russian spies. They would catch some American spies and then we trade them. Right? No, China is right now threatening to, and they already have with Canada and two other countries, they are threatening to kidnap regular old, innocent Americans off the street of China and hold them hostage until we give back there are six spies. Can you imagine that? Yeah, China is not an enemy. China is a friend, right? Well, it's a friend. If they give you one and a half-billion dollars. That's another story for a new section here. What I have been concerned about it looks like it's happening, that these were not attacked because they're part of the election apparatus. These were attacked because they were vulnerable systems. So what vulnerabilities were used, I think everyone needs to pay attention to this cause this is a very, very big deal. This is Seesaw. This is the cybersecurity and infrastructure security agency Seesaw. They are saying that they got in through what's called vulnerability chaining. That is a big deal and that is on my list of things as part of what we cover in my cybersecurity mastery course. This is a technique that's commonly used and it's used against businesses. It's used against federal state agencies, government critical infrastructure, elections organizations. In this case, it targeted something that I've been talking about forever. VPN vulnerability. Don't use virtual private networks unless you really, really, really, really know what you're doing. Okay. This was a target against a VPN vulnerability and a flaw in that log on, which is a windows protocol that used to authenticate people who are connecting over the VPN. Now what makes us even worse is that not only did the Secretary of State offices and other government offices not have adequate security to prevent this, not only did they not have properly configured VPNs, which is like 98% of them out there. So pull up your socks, people. Patches were already available for all of the vulnerabilities. They were already out there. This is what came straight from the FBI and CISA the patches were already there and they had been disclosed and the systems were not updated. So. How safe then is, is our election infrastructure? I go back to what I've been warning about for many, many years, our over reliance on the accuracy and security of the technology. These guys that did it are known as advanced persistent threat actors. Which usually means nation-states. They did not identify who it was most of the time lately. It's been China, no matter what these so-called news organizations have been saying, it hasn't been Russia. Russia really hasn't done much lately. It's mostly China and apparently, it looks like it's a financially motivated nation-state actor that can mean Russia. They are more financially motivated, but so is China. That's why they're stealing our business secrets as well. Okay. Very, very bad. Microsoft. You might remember, we talked about it here in September, said it detected Russian, Chinese, and Iranian actors targeting the 2020 US elections. So this is stepped up activity. They are targeting the  2020 election, according to Microsoft and the national counterintelligence and security center director, William Evanina. It's a very big, very big deal. So something else to worry about for our elections in 2020. It's also something you need to worry about if you are working from home. If you are a business owner or if you're an IT person, and that's why I'm here, I'm trying to help you guys understand this. That's why I have my cybersecurity mastery program. So you can ask me any questions you want to, and we can get things solved. Get them rolling. Be sure you are on my email list so you get my newsletters. You get the training and you know, what's going on. Hey, you're listening to Craig Peterson. We're going to talk about the IRS being investigated this time. You've seen those CLEAR things in airports, let you pass through quickly. We're going to talk about what they're trying to do nationwide. Stick around. We'll be right back. --- More stories and tech updates at: www.craigpeterson.com Don't miss an episode from Craig.

Election Hacking, Part 1Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Today we’re talking about just one state. One which, depending on which way it leans, might bring the entire electoral college with it. One which, as of this writing, is absolutely, positively, neck and neck. Dead heat. A few votes one way or the other could swing it. In other words: this is the kind of state that cannot afford to be hacked. But might be. The post Election Hacking, Part 1 appeared first on Malicious Life.

Why are people afraid of change, new technologies, and, right now, election hacking!? I talk with Jason Feifer about why people are always more pessimistic than they should be and that optimism and skepticism are powerful tools to set you apart from the masses and find real success. Plus, Jason shares some fun stories about wild pessimism throughout history I realized during this pandemic that most people are "smart idiots". They come across as smart but then cognitive biases kick in and they start acting like fools. Which is why I asked Jason Feifer to come on the podcast and talk about election hacking (is it a real concern?), and other stories of mass pessimism and hysteria. If you understand the pessimism bias, that's the first step in choosing yourself for success.  I write about all my podcasts!

The killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor sparked a summer of outrage and calls for legislative action. But months later, not much has happened. POLITICO’s Nolan McCaskill looks at why police reform efforts have hit a wall — and whether this week’s renewed outrage over Taylor's killing could inspire tangible legislative change. Plus, House Democrats are reworking the Covid relief proposal. And U.S. cyber officials are urging the public not to panic about election hacking. Nolan McCaskill is a national political reporter for POLITICO. Jeremy Siegel is a host for POLITICO Dispatch. Irene Noguchi is the executive producer of POLITICO audio. Jenny Ament is the senior producer of POLITICO audio.

We have a clear narrative about the 2016 and 2020 election hacking: It's social media's fault. But Russia has used the same strategy against America for 100 years (and that's just the start). If we treat this like it's only a Facebook problem, then we'll never truly protect our elections. This is the history of election hacking in America, and the repercussions of calling something “unprecedented” when it's not. Get in touch!

The 2016 election was hacked but not so Trump or Clinton would win. It was attacked to sow distrust in the US election process and hard the peaceful transition of power. It was designed and continues to make the citizenry and the world question the results of the US elections in 2016 and 2020. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/myjunk/support

Welcome! Good morning, everybody. I was on with Mr. Jim Polito this morning and as you know today is Primary Day in New Hampshire it is the Big Day for our State Sport - Politics.  That means it is the day to address voter manipulation, voter fraud, low tech solutions and why apps are not the answer. So, here we go with Mr. Polito. For more tech tips, news, and updates visit - CraigPeterson.com ---  Automated Machine Generated Transcript: Craig You know, they don't release their source code, they hold everything close to the chest. They say, Well, you know, it's obscure people don't know what we're doing or how we're doing it; therefore, it's safe. That is never the case, and things are starting to turn around. So there are so many mistakes we could put a whole quarter together and how that poor people about it. Here's how not to do a deployment of software. Craig Hey, good morning, everybody. Craig Peterson here, of course, on with Mr. Jim Polito. How could we be here on New Hampshire voting day without talking about politics and whether or not voting machines are hackable? So let's get into it. Jim Polito There are multiple levels to this one in New Hampshire. But this is important because We're going to Iowa. And we're going to the polls, the technical and have an election joining us now, our tech talk guru and good friend, Craig Peterson. Good morning, sir. Craig Good morning. It sounds like you're going to hit for that Bernie screen there. Yeah. Jim Yeah, yeah. You were not going to do one of those. Hey, can we talk about election technology? I mean, what the heck happened in Iowa? I mean, really? Yeah, I know. We talked about it before, but what the heck happened? Craig Yeah, this is an excellent example of everything you should not do when it comes to launching an app when it comes to rolling out new software, whatever it is. The Iowa Democratic Party man, everybody in there. Should be Jeff can there's no question about it. You know, I work with the FBI, and I'm part of the FBI infragard program. And the FBI is excellent about trying to make sure that everybody's safe. Did you know that Homeland Security, the FBI reached out to the Iowa Democratic Party saying, "Hey, guys, we know you have an app, we know that you're looking to use this for all of the results and we are here to help." What you had in Iowa was a bunch of people that have never rolled out an app before. They built it quickly. Jim, I am talking about hastily built, it wasn't load tested. We already talked about the fact that it was made entirely by insiders of Democratic Party higher-ups inside. It's everything you wouldn't want. You know, if I were them, I would have had a completely dry run on this thing, which they kind of did. They had little test logins for people. And the way they did their dry run was minimal. And this is a dry run, use different account different ways of logging in a different place to log in than the real one. It was just a total disaster. Jim I'll tell you, you know, this is the second time that the Democrats have had a problem with something it refused the help of the FBI. Remember, you know, Debbie Wasserman Schultz and the hacking of the DNC and John Podesta's emails being leaked, okay. They didn't want any help with that, either. Then we have this happening. Now the first one, I think, might have been Russian hackers (phishers). This one, they hacked it up all by themselves and still didn't ask for help from the FBI. And here's the question, Could someone, a bad player from another country, have hacked into that app screwed the whole thing up? I mean, we don't have any evidence yet that it did happen. But the question is, could it have happened? Craig Well, and the answer to that is obviously, yes. One of the big things that we've been doing for years here in the application development business remember, I built some of the most prominent internet properties that ever existed. Jim You helped to invent the internet. That's not a joke, people. He wrote code that is still in use. Craig Yeah, exactly. And some of the big ones like the Big Yellow Super Pages, you've probably heard about that. Yeah. You know that these important things and one of the things that we do to help make sure The safe software systems are secure are we use something called open-source software. And open-source software is software where everyone can look at the code. So, for instance, the best application out there, if you want an end to end security is called signal app. It's free. The source code for this thing is available freely on the internet for anyone to inspect. And that's the opposite of what again, the Democratic Party did in Iowa, which is the used what would be called closed source, something in the industry we call security through obscurity. Jim And look at how well that's worked for Microsoft. Right. Craig You know, they, they don't release their source code but hold everything close. They say, Well, you know, it's obscure. People don't know what we're doing or how we're doing it. Therefore it says that is Never the case, and things are starting to turn around. So there are so many mistakes that we could put a whole course together at Harvard, for people about here's how not to do deploy software. Jim We're talking with our good friend Tech Talk Guru Craig Peterson. At the end of the segment, we're going to tell you how you can get your hands on some of his stuff. Craig will not bother you, so don't worry. So, Craig, that could have happened. They didn't use open source stuff. What about the rest of our election? I mean, they're, they're going to the polls in New Hampshire right now. I mean, can our election be hacked? Craig Yeah, that's a great question. And I think everybody's minds right now. I'm going to be on a TV station up in Burlington, Vermont. Speaking of obscure Jim Very good. Very good. Craig I wonder if the Soviet flag is still on the wall? I doubt it. Jim I wouldn't doubt it. Oh. Craig That's what we're going delve into because I think it's a question everybody's mind. There are multiple levels of hacks or numerous targets for hacks when it comes to our systems in the election. Now, I have to say, New Hampshire is what many people would call a Luddite. New Hampshire says, Hey, listen, we're going to go low tech. And you know what, that's my answer. They have resisted all these fancy computer systems, all of these new-fangled machines. In New Hampshire, when you vote, you use a pencil or a felt tip pen on a piece of paper. Yeah. And that's the only thing that they could hack. Then those ballots are kept so they a manual count can be done if needed. Back in 2000, New Hampshire had the option of using the the the hanging chads technique that used in Florida and New Hampshire avoided that. And now so here are the different levels you could hack the voting machines themselves and New Hampshire, again, is doing a great job. The not connected networked, let alone the internet. So that's step one. The FBI has been warning about is how Secretary of State's offices, websites, because what's been happening is a that is just crazy here. But those websites are being compromised by places like Ukraine, Russia. And others over the years and obviously, China. How are those used? For the ultimate reporting in some states, the local county chairs performing the counts, upload them directly to the website. The data goes on there. That is another place for hacks to occur. And then here's yet another opportunity for hacking, and that is those websites show faults resolved because nationally, their parties are going to the website to the sector state offices and pulling the final results. Then they can also be hacked up on the federal level because, again, they're also using computers. There are so many ways for hacking to happen, but I can feel comfortable in saying that the FBI is keeping a very close eye on this, Homeland Security is keeping a very close eye on this. And, you know, I think we can be moderately comfortable. Those types of hacks aren't happening. But then there's the non-hack hack, which is they buy advertising and try and get people to change their minds. Now, that happened last time around, but the Russians managed to buy ads to try and get your change your vote after the election occurred. Right. So it's right left and center in this day and age, Jim. Jim It is just crazy that the people, the democrats, in this case, won't take the help of the FBI. In protecting these things. I agree with you low tech is the best. Low tech is the best. Sure. You could have some person working in a clerk's office stuff the ballot box, okay, but you couldn't have a political hack that would overturn a question. The Presidential election it would be more difficult to coordinate that many people to do it. Craig Yes. And it's way more difficult today than it was just two years ago or four years ago because they're starting to figure it out. And many states are ditching those completely electronic voting machines. By the way, here, here's something we got to get changed. We have a federal law that requires every state to have electronic voting machines that can be used by the, you know, hearing impaired, sight impaired, etc. I agree we have to provide something that allows these people to vote, but again why not a low tech solution. We should assign a poll worker to help them fill out the ballot, as opposed to having a machine that essentially has a touchpad, which is hackable. Just last year, we had our black hat conference in Vegas. There they had a bunch of voting machines sitting there for hackers to try their skills. Within minutes, they were able to hack into every one of them, and even a high schooler was able to hack them. Jim Well, that's what you get, you know? I mean, there's, there are people like you who get it, you know, when they're very talented, but then we've got these kids who are growing up in a world where they can figure this out. Craig Yes, yeah. And, and it's a feather in their cap to their career. You know, we just had a bill passed in the Senate. That was, I think it's started in the Senate and then sent to the house. It called for white hat hackers. Good guys to try and hack federal government systems. Well, where do you get your chomps to be a white hat hacker? A lot of these kids will look at it and say all I was just a kid. Yeah, I was hacking businesses and government websites and, and I was able to do all of this. Now all of a sudden they get a job in the federal government that's well paid because they were bad guys when they were, you know, young. I get it. Jim All right. So, where can folks get more information from you? I take it that they text my name, Jim, to this number. Craig Absolutely. Couple of ways to do it. You can just go to Craig Peterson calm, or you can text Jim to 855-385-5553. That's just text, Jim to 855-385-5553, standard data and text rates apply. Jim Craig will not try to hack you. And Craig, we love having you every Tuesday at this time. Craig Hey, thanks, Jim. Jim All right. Have a good one, buddy. When we return a fight Word. You're listening, Craig Thanks for being with us. I have been so busy along with my team. You know, I've been saying this for about a month and, and it's right. We have some fantastic free training coming up. We have a course also coming up. It is going to be a killer month. Yes, indeed. That's kind of a hint, a killer month. All right, anyway, take care, everybody. We will be back. Just don't expect as much output from me this week with lives and everything else. Take care. Bye-bye.

Brittany Kaiser, a former Cambridge Analytica insider, witnessed a two day presentation at the company that shocked her and her co-workers. It laid out a new method of campaigning, in which candidates greet voters with a thousand faces and speak in a thousand tongues, automatically generating messages that are increasingly aiming toward an audience of one. She explains how these methods of persuasion have shaped elections worldwide, enabling candidates to sway voters in strange and startling ways.

We discuss the lack of integrity in the 2016 election and potentially in the 2020 election, and Andrea interviews community organizer Deborah Porder of Indivisible Scarsdale about an initiative created in New York state to help secure our elections.

"There are a number of myths about elections that we've been hearing, saying that they are secure. And I want to shoot down two of those key myths," says Barbara Simons, board chair of Verified Voting, in a talk called "Can we recover from an attack on our election?" that she gave for the annual Minner Distinguished Lecture in Engineering Ethics on Sept. 18.The first myth, says Simons, is that because voting machines are never connected to the internet, they can't be hacked. The second is that there are so many types of voting systems that it's impossible to rig an election. She explains why both are untrue.She goes on to discuss how, in 2002, computers were introduced in U.S. elections without an analysis of the risks, how it led to states adopting paperless voting and what we need to do to avoid hacking in our 2020 presidential election."We have a solution, so that's the good news," says Simons. "We have a solution. You need voter-marked paper ballots. You need a strong chain of custody. And you need to physically sound, manually post-election ballot audits called risk-limiting audits."She says it's too late to have any laws passed in time for the 2020 election. Instead, we need the cooperation of local election officials and a national campaign. And, she says, it's up to volunteers and staff to help the election officials do risk-limiting audits. "If we can do that, there's a good chance we can avoid hacking of the 2020 election. But that's a big 'if.'"Simons is the former president of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), the nation’s largest educational and scientific computing society. An expert on electronic voting, she is the co-author of Broken Ballots: Will Your Vote Count? and has been on the board of advisers of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission since 2008.The Minner Distinguished Lecture in Engineering Ethics is an annual lecture supported by the Minner Endowment, a gift from Berkeley Engineering alumnus Warren Minner and his wife, Marjorie.Listen and read a transcript on Berkeley News.Watch a video of Simons' talk on Berkeley Engineering's website.

Ahead of the 2016 elections, Illinois' voter database was infiltrated by Russia's state-backed hackers. This week on Decrypted, Bloomberg Technology's Kartikay Mehrotra investigates what Illinois has done since to prepare for the next presidential election, and whether states and counties across the country are ready for 2020.  

Today’s online propaganda has evolved in unforeseeable and seemingly absurd ways; by laughing at or spreading a Kermit the Frog meme, you may be unwittingly advancing the Russian agenda. These campaigns affect our elections integrity, public health, and relationships. In this episode, the first of two parts, disinformation expert Renee DiResta talks with Tristan and Aza about how these tactics work, how social media platforms’ algorithms and business models allow foreign agents to game the system, and what these messages reveal to us about ourselves. Renee gained unique insight into this issue when in 2017 Congress asked her to lead a team of investigators analyzing a data set of texts, images and videos from Facebook, Twitter and Google thought to have been created by Russia’s Internet Research Agency. She shares what she learned, and in part two of their conversation, Renee, Tristan and Aza will discuss what steps can be taken to prevent this kind of manipulation in the future.

Election hacking and cybersecurity are hot topics at the moment. CEO and President of F-Secure, Samu Konttinen shares more about what can be done to prevent this.
