Exploiting Vulnerabilities: Installing Malware Locally on ICX BMDs
A recent investigation has revealed significant vulnerabilities in ICX BMDs used in Georgia's election system. These vulnerabilities enable attackers, including regular voters with physical access, to install malware on the machines. Attackers can exploit the vulnerabilities by attaching USB devices to the ICX, "escaping" the ICX App through a USB keyboard, accessing a root shell via the built-in Terminal app, or using forged Technician Cards. The manual installation process involves several steps, but attackers can also automate it using a device called a "Bash Bunny." Additionally, attackers can exploit the Safe Mode feature to gain unrestricted control over the Android operating system on ICX BMDs. These vulnerabilities pose serious risks to election security, allowing attackers to tamper with printed ballots and potentially steal votes.

[Sen./Rep.] [FIRST NAME] [LAST NAME]
Washington, DC
Dear [Sen./Rep.] [LAST NAME]:
I am writing to you as a concerned citizen to urgently demand comprehensive election reform to address the critical vulnerabilities discovered in ICX BMDs (Ballot Marking Devices) used in Georgia's election system. The recent investigation, titled "Exploiting Vulnerabilities: Installing Malware Locally on ICX BMDs," has revealed alarming security flaws that can compromise the accuracy, fairness, and integrity of our electoral process. As a responsible representative, I implore you to take immediate action in championing the necessary reforms to safeguard our democratic system. The vulnerabilities in the ICX BMDs, as exposed by the investigation, allow attackers to install malware locally on the machines. These vulnerabilities can be exploited by individuals with physical access to the devices, including regular voters. The techniques used by attackers include attaching USB devices to the ICX, "escaping" the ICX App, accessing a root shell via the built-in Terminal app, and exploiting various loopholes to bypass security measures. The potential implications for election security are severe, as attackers can tamper with printed ballots and potentially steal votes. To address these pressing issues and restore public trust in our electoral system, I urge you to champion the following election reforms: Mandate Paper Ballots: It is imperative to require that only paper ballots be used for all elections in every state. Paper ballots provide a tangible and auditable record of each voter's choice, ensuring transparency and the ability to verify results accurately. By eliminating electronic vulnerabilities, we can significantly mitigate the risks associated with ICX BMDs and bolster the integrity of our elections. Hand Counting at the Precinct Level: To enhance the trustworthiness of our elections, I implore you to support legislation that mandates hand counting of paper ballots at the precinct level. This meticulous and accountable process minimizes the chances of errors or tampering, ensuring the utmost accuracy in determining the will of the people. Implementing robust audit procedures will reinforce public confidence in election outcomes. Same-Day, In-Person Voting: It is vital to preserve the accessibility and inclusivity of our elections by implementing same-day, in-person voting for all eligible citizens. This approach allows individuals to cast their votes securely and confidently, reinforcing the democratic principles of civic participation and equal representation. By facilitating direct interaction between voters and the ballot, we reduce the potential for malicious interference and ensure the integrity of the electoral process. Accommodations for Invalids and Deployed Military Personnel: While promoting in-person voting, it is essential to make provisions for individuals who are unable to physically attend polling stations, such as invalids and deployed military personnel. These individuals should be granted the option to vote by mail to ensure their participation in the democratic process. By providing secure mechanisms for remote voting, we guarantee equal access to the ballot box while maintaining necessary safeguards to prevent fraud. By enacting these reforms, Congress can demonstrate its commitment to preserving the integrity of our elections and upholding the principles of democracy. It is imperative that we act swiftly to address the vulnerabilities exposed in ICX BMDs and protect the foundation upon which our nation's democratic process stands. I kindly request your support and advocacy for these crucial election reforms. As my representative, I trust that you will prioritize the security and fairness of our electoral system, safeguarding the fundamental principles upon which our nation was built. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I eagerly await your decisive action and remain hopeful that we can work together to strengthen our democracy
Sincerely,
[SIGNATURE]
