Re: HUGE UPDATE: Dominion Voting Systems Uses SolarWinds -- Same Company Just Shut Down by CISA After Govt Found It Was Breached!

If it helps, SolarWinds is an IT management tool set. Lots of companies use it to manage a wide range of issues. SolarWinds products are reasonably priced and well structured for small to medium shops. And apparently the big shops.

The connection to Dominion is not news - yet.... If we learn that Dominion was hacked via this exploit, then we'll have a different conversation, but till that point, it's a mistake to make assumptions based on a hack of a common IT software. We could point as well at Jabber or Cisco switches as common tools that are likely in Dominion's shop and have had massive exploits as well in recent months.

I've started reading Virtual Competition by Ezrachi and Stucke. They are writing about the complexities of managing monopolies and anti-trust concerns in an era where "Algorithms" are running everything. How do you prove intent when they can say "the complex algorithm had a bug in it?"

So far the book is worth reading.

I'm using 32 bit RC and I have the Novell Network authentication installed. I suspect that the Novell is corrupting things for me.

aviv,

I've had mixed results. Got success on a Ubuntu Box, zero on a Win 7 box, and simply errors on a IBM R51 with ubuntu. Won't boot the USB at all.
