They use Ubuntu Linux to prevent CF cards from being infected by
VIRUSES commonly found on Win$ucks.

Yes - but there are more problems found :

Among the unresolved problems revealed by the SysTest code review are the
following:


- ?Possible database corruption", which can result in loss of vote data
(p.16, 24)
- ?Potentially incomplete, corrupted, overwritten or lost audit logs,"
which can also result in loss of vote data as well as make it possible for
intruders to hide their tracks (p.18-19, 21, 23, 30-31);
- ?Possible injection of malicious SQL [database] commands", which can
corrupt vote data (p.19);
- ?Unencrypted passwords in database and other encryption and password
problems" (p.19-20, 24, 29); and
- ?Possible loss of significant digits" in the vote data (p.20, 22).

Thanks for that info. I've been watching closely the video shown in the TV news lately, to see what OS they've been using at Smartmatic for configuring cf cards. I noticed a top/bottom bars but I am not so sure, since I am also thinking of a theory that it maybe a running program in full screen, so thank you guys.


Anyway, has anyone bothered from the recent cf card issues??
I think their is a flaw in the design of Smartmatic PCOS machines the way it counted votes, ok, as we believe that no system is 100% perfect, but as I see it, it is more to error prone like the single and double spacing issue.
Anyway this is a separate topic, if you guys knew of where this topic was being discussed, kindly provide me a link...


Cheers,
Allan

As I mentioned earlier, the way the PCOS count the votes is error prone, plus the things you've mentioned below if that is true it is indeed a matter of serious concern of the P.O.P.
