If Bolsonaro wasn't interested in rigging the elections, but rather to cast doubt on the result (as suggested in https://www.securityweek.com/brazilian-hacker-claims-bolsonaro-asked-him-to-hack-into-the-voting-system-ahead-of-2022-vote/ https://www.securityweek.com/brazilian-hacker-claims-bolsona...), then he might have (unintentionally) done a good service by trying to persuade a hacker to poke holes in this implementation of this "insane idea".

- rbanffy 3y ago> trying to persuade a hacker to poke holes in this implementation of this "insane idea". This is a lot easier said than done. I have lost count of how many times I shot down people saying "I can hack the Brazilian voting machines" by citing hardware, software, and process countermeasures. I won't say we thought about everything (I worked on it in 2001-2002) but we thought a LOT about it and couldn't come up with one single idea that wouldn't fail in an obvious, easily detectable, manner.
