LAS VEGAS – Hackers 5, voting machines 0.
It took less than a day for attendees at the DefCon hacking conference to find and exploit vulnerabilities in five different voting machine types.
“The first ones were discovered within an hour and 30 minutes. And none of these vulnerabilities has ever been found before, they’ll all new,” said Harri Hursti, co- coordinator of the event.
One group even managed to rick-roll a touch screen voting machine, getting it to run Rick Astley’s song “Never Gonna Give You Up,” from 1987.

The machines themselves were mostly bought on eBay, said event co-coordinator Matt Blaze, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania and election security expert. Only one of the models has been decommissioned, the rest are still in use around the country, he said.
Ad hoc clusters of attendees hunched around each of them, murmuring quietly as they tested various inputs. Every once in a while, someone would call out for help or advice. “Anybody got a card scanner?” or “Did somebody have the manual for the Diebold?”
Several groups took machines apart, others found ports meant for election officials and plugged computers and testing devices into them to see what the could gain access to. Wireless and networked hacks were also attempted.
But much of the work didn’t involve hacking at all.
“It just took us a couple of hours on Google to find passwords that let us unlock the administrative functions on this machine,” said Pfeiffer, whose group was working on a touch screen voting machine.*“Now we’re working on where we can go from there.”

Excuse me, transgender Bill Gates, but exactly how did they hack machines that weren't connected to the internet? And what would make you happy? Back to paper ballots? No one gives a damn
 
"So as a remote attacker, I can target an election management system, one of these ballot programming computers. If I can infect it with malicious software, I can have that malicious software spread to the individual machines on the memory cards, and then change votes on Election Day," says Halderman.
 
one of the machines that were used in this experiment was found to still have a 2002 election info still on it
