Yesterday, Where We Live, with John Dankoski, was a discussion of Cyber Security for consumers and business. Listen to the program here <podcast>
At about 17:49 into the show, I called in and reminded John Dankoski of the Secretary of the State’s Symposium on Online Voting that he moderated just over three years ago. The Symposium was intended for legislators. Only three actually attended.
To little avail, the legislature twice passed Internet voting for military and overseas voters – every time a business, government agency, or the Military is hacked it gets less and less believable that Internet voting is safe for democracy, less and less believable that the State or all of our 169 towns can defend Internet voting from attackers.
In response to my comment, Professor Bryan Ford of Yale, gave a very thorough summary of the potential risks of Internet voting.
The whole show is a great summary of the wide range of risks to consumers and the challenges to our infrastructure, specifically utilities.
