More than 20 would-be hackers gathered in the Brazilian electoral authority’s headquarters. Their mission: infiltrate the nation’s voting system ahead of a hotly anticipated race in October.
Their 3-day battery of attempted assaults ended Friday and was part of planned testing that happens everyyear, usually proceeding without incident or, for that matter, drawing any attention.
Last year, Bolsonaro suggested the election could be canceled unless a voting reform was passed in Congress. But the proposed constitutional change did not garner enough votes. Some political and military analysts have argued the TSE's olive branch proved to be a mistake as tensions have since escalated.
Barroso’s successor at the TSE, Supreme Court Justice Luiz Edson Fachin, said Thursday the elections will be taken care of by “unarmed forces,” adding that the TSE's declaration of voting results will be final.
Carlos Alberto da Silva, a professor of data security at the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul, was part of the group that tried to break into the system. He and a pupil had discovered a loophole in the audio output that could violate the vote's confidentiality. On Friday, he told the AP the issue had been resolved by the TSE.
