Contest To Hack Brazilian Voting Machines 

,----[ Quote ]
| "Brazilian elections went electronic many 
| years ago, with very fast results but a few 
| complaints from losers, of course. Next month, 
| 10 teams that accepted the challenge will have 
| access to hardware and software (Google 
| translation; original in Portuguese) for the 
| amount of time they requested (from one hour 
| to four days). Some will try to break the 
| vote's secrecy and some will try to throw in 
| malicious code to change the entered votes 
| without leaving traces."
