Georgia's election machines are vulnerable to hacking, according to a cybersecurity expert's trial testimony.
During a trial on Monday, cybersecurity expert Clay Parikh testified that Dominion Voting System machines in Georgia could be hacked, as well as in other states where the same machines are used, the Atlanta-Journal Constitution reported.
Parikh testified on behalf of the DeKalb County Republican Party, which sued the Georgia secretary of state's office over concerns regarding the security of the state's voting machines.
The county GOP claimed that the encryption keys that protect passwords for the voting machines were revealed in election databases that were released as part of records requests sent to four Georgia counties.
He was able to access the encryption keys and find identical passwords that are also used with Dominion machines in other states, meaning access to one Dominion system allowed access to others.
The secretary of state's attorneys argued that Parikh's testimony was the same “tired old claims” that have previously been rejected in other courts across the country.
Parikh reviewed the snapshots of the counties’ databases following the 2020 election.
