From (& To) Russia, With Love
If you ask security experts why more cyber criminals aren't brought to justice, the answer you will probably hear is that U.S. authorities simply aren't getting the cooperation they need from law enforcement officials in Russia and other Eastern European nations, where some of the world's most active cyber criminal gangs are thought to operate with impunity.

I'm not trying to take the heat off of Diebold belive me. I'm only wondering if their incompetence is magnified by a trend in Russia?

Seriously, can't somebody finally put this horrible company out of America's (and the world's) misery?!

And while you're at it, somebody, how about the company that makes the crummy operating system Diebold's crummy software runs on?

If diebold really wanted to they could go to an operating system that isn't effected by viruses like mac os or perhaps linux. Why would they use shitty windows. I use windows personally and can see it is merely a monopoly with half assed programmers releasing only alittle at a time so people can upgrade every couple years and keep microsoft in business. I can see linux eventually taking over since it's open source and not greed orientated like the federal reserve.

Of course, I'm the last person you'll see defending the reprehensible Diebold for anything. Or even Microsoft, for that matter. But the fact is, if you click through the various source articles, the bad guys were able to take advantages of "undocumented features" in the source code, suggesting insider access and/or knowledge of that code.

To that extent, had linux, or even a self-created OS been used for these systems, they could have been vulnerable to a similar attack.

Same is true, by the way, for open source voting systems, despite those who argue for them, as if they would be some sort of panacea for our country's foolish misadventure into e-voting.

Diebold ? why are these fraudsters still in business.
They have fixed elections
and for that they are rewarded by their masters with an ATM contract?
something is wrong in America justice is gone
fraudulent bankers get away with the biggest heist in America history
and no one goes to jail !
Meanwhile the American tax paying Sucker is buried with 1.8 quadrillion in the fraudulent
banking debts.
America is over now the barbarians argue over the last few scraps of wealth left in America.
Soon they will come for your assets but first your
guns will be taken.

During the past eight years of Diebold elected (by fraud) government our nation has gone down the crapper. Now, those same types are trying to keep our new president from trying to clean up the mess. It is time for the american people to forget the politically correct bullshit and stomp these bastards out or we are finished as a viable country to raise our children.

Actually... if Obama is still so unconnected to reality as to keep pretending that the financial behemoths such as AIG aren't completely insolvent... then I don't think it's a matter of him being "kept" from cleaning up the mess.

Just wait until we find out that the public can't audit the books on the assets we're paying trillions for inflating the economy by trillions for because it's a matter of... "national security."

Oh that's just great!

Sheesh!
