MONTPELIER — In light of recent stories about cyberattacks on election databases in Arizona and Illinois, Secretary of State Jim Condos said he wants voters to be aware of the work he and his office have done to protect Vermont elections and reassure them their votes and voter information are safe.
According to Condos, The Secretary of State’s Office was the first state agency to undergo a thorough cybersecurity assessment, including penetration testing for all data/systems. Furthermore Condos said that all elements of the elections management system, including the statewide voter checklist, have undergone extensive reviews and testing for vulnerabilities to cyber threats, including those of the type described in an FBI alert to state election officials.
He further remarked that in response to the recent FBI alert, the Secretary of State’s Office initiated a complete analysis of its elections system to search for any attacks from the specific sources identified by the FBI. After a thorough review, no abnormal activity was found.
