...written about vulnerabilities in Diebold's e-voting source code after it was inadvertently left on a public server. "When Brett first contacted me, he seemed surprised that I didn't recognize him," Rubin says. "He said, 'It's Brett with Velvet Revolution,' and I felt like, 'Oh, boy, let's figure out how I can get off of this call...
