In an era where vote tampering is one of the biggest fears among the voters, Microsoft reveals that it’s working on an election system that can not only make the process a lot more secure but accessible as well. Also, Microsoft revealed in its official blog post that nearly 10,000 customers were targets of cyberattack by nation-sponsored actors in the previous year and their data was compromised.
With technology and social media now being blamed to sway the election cycle and the voting process being rigged, Microsoft is adamant that its technology will come in super handy to prevent the same. “Governments and civil society have important roles to play, but the tech industry also has a responsibility to help defend democracy,” added Burt in Microsoft’s blog post.
