The report describes vulnerabilities only in a specific version of some ballot-marking devices & software. Few districts even use these kind of ballot-marking devices, and nearly all that do produce a paper ballot for the voter to review before turning it in. These devices have nothing to do with counting/tabulating votes; those are different machines.
All of the vulnerabilities described would have required someone to have physical access to each machine they wanted to affect.
Later on in the mitigations section it says that all the vulnerabilities laid out have been fixed in further updated software/firmware versions that have already been released.
So it's a report about a small-scale problem that has already been fixed that has nothing to do with vote counting infrastructure.
While the statement Major patriot made might be true in a technical sense, using this report as proof of any of the 2020 vote count manipulation theories is a stretch at the least. I would argue it reaches "fake post" territory because the intention is clearly to have people think the government just admitted all of Dominion is insecure, when in reality this is a run-of-the-mill minor bug report.
"The Report":
https://www.cisa.gov/uscert/ics/advisories/icsa-22-154-01
I like how at the end they list "mitigations" and none of them are "stop using the machines".
So this whole post is fake.
Good to know.
What’s up with all the fake news posted lately?
People getting bored or what?
How is what Major Patriot wrote a “fake post”?
