COMELEC shows why they’re not ready for a computerized elections

Yesterday, our good friend benj, warned us about this ultimate stalker guide to all registered voters of NCR. Lo and behold, what he said was true. It is something that identity thieves and god-knows-who sick-minded personalities could use just against anybody or for themselves.

As of this afternoon COMELEC got some sense to take down all the files. But thanks to our beloved stalking tool Google, some of the files are now cached in the Google server. So the info are still available online! (Message me if you want to know how it’s done. If you know how to work the Google cache, then just go ahead. Just make sure you’re no identity thief).

Tsk, if COMELEC can’t handle something as simple as access management, how the heck could we trust them with a computerized elections?

Words of Wisdom

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee. — Jules Winnfield, Pulp Fiction
