How could anyone have the ability to install a rootkit undetected on the lottery computer? Computing systems that aren&#x27;t properly secured are like bank vaults left unsecured, but in many cases they also are remotely accessible.<p>People shouldn&#x27;t be any more shocked at these exploits than the &#x27;exploit&#x27; of an employee stealing cash from an insecure bank vault. We should expect it. It would be a honeypot if we took security seriously.<p>For some reason people don&#x27;t take the security of digital assets as seriously as security of physical assets; we don&#x27;t invest the significant resources required to secure them.. How secure are voting machines, as an example? Given the enormous stakes of elections, we know what to expect.
