    That just sounds completely tech illiterate. A UPS is just a battery. There’s no integration with the actual electronics of a computer. This is just technobabble.

      A UPS is just a battery.

      Something something tech illiteracy.

      If the UPS monitoring is plugged in via USB that’s all the attack vector needed. Good chance they had ethernet as well.

      I mean I don’t think either of us actually know that for these particular voting machines. There absolutely plenty of UPS systems where the system is in constant communication with its UPS.
