> “It would be extremely difficult to replicate these systems since many states utilize unique networks and custom-built databases with new and updated security protocols,” the [National Association of Secretaries of State] said. This sound so similar to what an Equifax exec would be saying after a breach, it's not even funny. (Background: "unique network" and "custom-built databases" don't have anything to do with security, it's just obscurity with no way to check for integrity nor audit for tampering.)
