If the nation survives this insanity, the software will have to be rewritten from scratch, otherwise it is impossible to know which actors, both foreign and domestic, have the knowledge of the systems.


>the software will have to be rewritten from scratch

Would you even be able to trust the hardware anymore? If it's already compromised then it's safer to assume it goes deep (firmware).


Has everyone forgotten the lessons of open-source cryptography all of a sudden? Just because the systems are public does not mean that they are vulnerable, and "security through obscurity" is no security at all.


Well, DOGE has the keys and the data. I'm not sure how this will not stay vulnerable if/when the dust settles.
