Carsten Schürmann

Carsten Schürmann is a German professor at the IT-university in Denmark, Copenhagen. He is known famously for hacking a U.S. voting machine in 2017. He used only 90 minutes to gain full access of the machine. He had found an error, that was already known 14 years before he attempted to hack the machine, but it had went largely unnoticed, and was given little attention. He had found the code to the voting machine, which was "abcde" on the internet. He describes the Hack in a draft on the internet.

On the 7th of June the comedian Nathan Fielder released a video on his youtube account "nathanfielder" named "Can the Emmys be Hacked?" THis video featured Carsten explaing how he could hypothetically hack The Emmys, by exploiting people that are unaware of the dangers the internet can have. It is here that Carsten Famously said "All attacks are frighteningly easy, once you have discovered them."

Carsten today is an important professor and speaker of the dangers of fusion between [Techonology] and [Democracy], he is an idol for all of us.
