Don't forget that the machines weren't directly accessible from the
Internet.
That's not true. The machine with voter registration data that creates
the application to vote certainly is networked via Wifi and the cellular network.
To fully use the passwords you needed physical access to the
machines which are kept locked up and with cameras looking over the
access areas until it's time to deploy them. So while she made a
grievous error in posting the passwords there were enough other
safeguards in place that it wouldn't compromise the voting systems.
No. Posting credentials in and of itself isn't enough to destroy system integrity, but all it takes is a human being intending to commit a
felony. This has made it easier to commit the crime.
I seriously question why the STATE -- which does not administer polling
places, early voting, nor mail-voting voting -- required a state-wide
list of passwords at all. No state employee has anything to do with
these operations. They'd access a voting machine for testing or audit
purposes only.
The moment a county received a new machine, the default password should
have been changed. If it weren't, then the security breach was on the
county clerk, not the secretary of state.
