The state of Colorado published the passwords to all of its voting machines online.
Over 600 voting machine passwords were made available in a spreadsheet online through their official website.
The state has said that it's no big deal and has not changed the passwords.

Colorado Publishes Voting System Passwords in Major Error

Colorado's secretary of state has said partial passwords for voting system components were mistakenly posted on its official website.

The passwords, accessible via a hidden tab in a publicly available spreadsheet, were removed on October 24 after the error was discovered. State officials emphasized that the incident was inadvertent, has been rectified, and has not affected the election process.

"This does not pose an immediate security threat to Colorado's elections, nor will it impact how ballots are counted," the Colorado Department of State said in a statement on Tuesday.

Election integrity has been a central concern in the lead-up to November 5, as former President Donald Trump continues to make unsupported claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him through widespread voter fraud. Last week, Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold said the state's elections were secure after election staff discovered a dozen fraudulent mailed ballots during a signature verification process

According to a release from the Colorado Republican Party, the spreadsheet contained more than 600 partial BIOS passwords for voting system components across 63 of Colorado's 64 counties.

BIOS (basic input/output systems) passwords are a core component of security control for a computer system, like a master key that controls access to the basic hardware settings of a computer. The passwords in question were neither encrypted nor otherwise protected.

I can't wait until the retards over in Colorado tell us that election fraud doesn't exist.
Again.

Anon, if you believe that this won't lead to election problems, you're either stupid or an evil person. Potentially both if you work for the state of Colorado.

I mean seriously. Imagine the amount of cognitive dissonance that went into that public statement
>"yes, the security of the election machines in 63 out of 64 counties were compromised, but this does not pose an immediate security threat".
I would be tying a noose in my office if I was forced to write that message, jesus fucking christ
>>
>>1357780
first off, it wasn't even the full passwords, also
>“Under Colorado law, voting equipment must be stored in secure rooms that require a secure ID badge to access,” the spokesperson said. “That ID badge creates an access log that tracks who enters a secure area and when.”
but feel free to spend the next 4 years crying about it
>>
>>1357781
>it wasn't even the full passwords
Look at this goalpost moving little nigger.
>>
>>1357782
even if they were full passwords, nobody can even use them unless they have physical access to the machines. but you'll just ignore that and continue to whine about a non-issue
>>
>>1357783
>it's just ring 0 access bro
>they're just partial passwords bro
>the physical servers are secure!
>i-it's fine! honest!
We went through this same shit in 2020, you lying faggot.

Dominion sued the fuck out of anybody who questioned the integrity of the elections. And then the democratic party cracked down on anybody who tried to access the machines to verify election security. That's literally why Tina Peters was sentenced to jail for the rest of her life.

What we know now, but didn't then, is that the servers were configured in a way which objectively violated state election law, e.g being connected to the open internet and being easily accessible to anybody with a shared admin password. But the people who kept threatening us with political violence for questioning the "safest and most secure election" insisted that everything was totally fine.

Nobody trusts people you anymore, retard. You are a threat to the republic.

>>1357781
>first off, it wasn't even the full passwords
Makes sense. Bios has two passwords, administrative passwords and boot passwords.
1 of these were leaked, and either one allows anyone to boot a machine from a thumb drive and do whatever they want on it

Newsweek fail.

Nobody, as in people with an education, trusts retards such as you, >>1357786.
Because they are educated, Dominion destroyed retards that had wrong opinions. Good.

>>1357786
like i said. we await you crying about a non-issue and losing all suits filed for lack of evidence
>>
>>1357795
I'm glad this was discovered several months after the fact so they actually had an opportunity to change passwords.
Too bad checking access logs isn't going to discover someone who accessed the system using a bios password and a thumb drive.

It's a good thing they audit the machines with test batches of ballots to check they are working correctly and haven't been tampered with then.

It's almost like our voting systems are secure or something.

Yeah, they're so secure the federal government will imprison you and/or send a government actor to sue you for questioning the elections.
