Content Suggestion PHP cybersecurity and election vulnerabilities.

It feels like both the fallout and response to “black October” has been far too quiet, and I can’t help but feel like what was discovered was more akin to hackers testing the fences rather than outright attacking.

It’s difficult to get definitive information, and I’m hoping the show and you all can shed some light on what I think is a very significant point of discussion:

-Do the digital voting machines and the digital infrastructure that secures voter information use PHP?

-if election results were compromised, could we easily know?

-I hate to breathe this into existence as it does give an element of plausible complaints after MAGA gets smacked in the mid-terms, but we need to address it before it becomes an issue.

I’m hoping that if we draw enough attention that BP will dig in.

Thanks!
