Re: Weasels!

Please do not insult weasels, they like to feast on vermin like ES&S.

Seriously, anything that is linked to the web is vulnerable to attack and needs to be secured. Does not matter what it is, it will be attacked. Some will be harder to get at as they might not be directly accessible, that only makes them somewhat less vulnerable not invulnerable. Anything that is mission critical as a voting machine should be considered should be thoroughly tested by outside experts to find the failures. If they can find them then black-hats can find them also.
