Hackers Fail To Crack Brazilian Voting Machines
,----[ Quote ]
| From Nov 10th to Nov 13th the Brazilian
| Government hosted a public hacking contest to
| test the robustness of its voting machines.
| 38 participants from private and public IT
| companies (including the Brazilian Federal
| Police) were divided into 9 teams, which
| tried several different approaches to try to
| tamper with the software installed on the
| machines, and even to physically interfere in
| other stages of the process. All attempts
| (aside from a minor one which would not
| compromise the overall results) failed, and
| observations from the participants and
| neutral observers will be taken into account
| to improve the process even further.

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."
