    Misleading title. It was an experiment with a new online voting and the students along with others were asked to try and hack it. They realized then how many security risks there are and shelved the idea for now.

    Still funny,

    "While we were in control of these systems, we observed other attack attempts originating from computers in Iran and China," Halderman said. "These attackers were attempting to guess the same master password that we did. And since it was only four letters long, they would likely have soon succeeded."
    a 4 letter master password? Seriously?

    They weren't supposed to be able to do it, though.

    They either hired morons or meant for it to fail.
    They didn't even follow standard compliance rules. eg: leaving a text file with 900 accounts+pin numbers on a publicly hittable web server?
