DENVER (KDVR) — Colorado’s Republican party accused the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office of “quietly” removing a publicly accessible spreadsheet from the office’s website that “contained BIOS passwords for election systems in 63 of the 64 counties in Colorado.”
The GOP said in its release that there were over 600 “BIOS” passwords that were not encrypted or protected, and were open to the public for anyone who knew where to look. BIOS, or Basic Input/Output System, is how a computer’s operating system knows how to operate....
The Colorado Republican Party called on the Secretary of State’s Office to provide a series of assurances in writing to the GOP and the public...
The Colorado Republicans also asked for confirmation or a plan regarding how the “exposed systems” will or still meet the certification requirements of a “trusted build,” noting that a breach by a party with BIOS access may be difficult or impossible to identify....
Colorado Republican Party Chairman Dave Williams called the possible exposure of the election systems passwords “shocking.”
