Thanks @Ali for the share.

This is one big pile of problems. 

78% of data transferred manually?

What surprises me more is "KPMG observed that there are two active default administrator accounts whose default passwords have not been changed." I think these are the security basics even no technical person knows.

In my opinion its either we are not ready at all or IEBC does not know exactly what they are doing with this system.

@Barrack I think you are right IEBC needs to respond on what its actually doing to resolve these issues.

Not sure whether this was posted earlier.


At least 10 security loopholes that could be exploited to manipulate the August 8 General Election have been exposed in an audit report of the country’s voter register.

The voter roll lacks mandatory security features and could therefore be easily hacked into and data of the 19.6 million registered voters deleted, added or amended, according to the audit report by KPMG.
