From our NYT story tonight: no indication the app to tally votes in Iowa was hacked/breached. What happened appears to be much more mundane and commonplace: people didn’t understand how to use the technology, and bugs in internet speed/connectivity led to a lot of malfunctions.
That being said, cyber security experts (IE @mattblaze) are clear that this should have been tested, extensively, before being rolled out. That’s the best, and widely used standard in Cybersec these days: have everyone and anyone help look for vulnerabilities.
Instead this app was kept a secret until a few weeks ago. Precincts were given little to no training. It didn’t help that phone lines to call in votes were also recently changed.
Basically: more tech does not = better. Let’s see how many times we need to rinse and repeat that lesson before November.

The #IowaCaucus is an embarrassment for #ITSM and technology in general. You can’t blame the software - it’s a process (people) execution problem when you don’t perform a full UAT/QA and stress testing in advance of a production release.
It is so much fun to live in the age of incompetence.
#HandCountedPaperBallots and nothing else!
Um- caucuses are more of an exercise in people sorting - as in physical bodies.
good luck spreading this info amongst the conspiracy hungry night crew
