"Brazil's Bolsonaro Accused of Attempting Voter Machine Hacking, Hacker Testifies"

A Brazilian hacker testified before a congressional inquiry that former President Jair Bolsonaro asked him to hack into voting machines and offered to pardon him if caught. The hacker explained that the plan was to create a fake code to expose the machines' vulnerabilities, but it couldn't proceed due to limited access to the source code. Bolsonaro's defense team denied the allegations, and the testimony comes after he was barred from running for office until 2030 for abusing his power during the previous election campaign. The inquiry was established following riots in January 2023 against the election results.
