Minister Luís Roberto Barroso, president of the Superior Electoral Tribunal (TSE), reported this Sunday afternoon (15) that the preventive withdrawal of one of the two Electoral Justice servers caused overload and, consequently, difficult access for the voter who tried justify your absence in the election through the e-Title application.
According to the minister, the removal of one of the servers from the network was made preventively due to an attack by a hacker in the last 3 days on the High Court of Justice (STJ) system.
Since Sunday morning, voters have reported difficulties making justification through the app. According to Barroso, 13 million e-Titles were downloaded, of which 3 million this weekend. At 3 in the afternoon, the minister reported, 560,000 voters had justified the absence.
“After the attacks on the STJ servers, we strengthened the security of our systems. We took a server off the network and made a backup. Thus, we would have a server outside the system. With this server turned off, the remaining server suffered an overload And it affected the optimal performance of the e-Title. That is one of the explanations “, declared Barroso during a press conference at the TSE.
According to the minister, the objective of the measure was to ensure that, in the event of a cyberattack, there was a server outside the system with all the information preserved.
The E-Title application replaces the printed version of the voter registration
According to him, “the system is working. It is just not meeting all the demand.”
“The main feature, which is voter identification, worked perfectly. But there was instability at the polling place and justification for those who were out of their polling place,” he said.
According to the minister, despite the decision to close one of the servers, the measure did not affect the main function of the e-Title.
Minister Barroso denies that TSE suffered hacker attack
Barroso said that on Sunday there was an attempt to attack the TSE system, “totally neutralized”, according to him, by the court and the telephone operators.
According to him, the attempted attack consisted of a large volume of simultaneous accesses with the supposed objective of bringing down the system.
During the interview, which began around 2:30 p.m., Barroso provided the following information:
- 1,700 ballot boxes replaced (0.38%)
- 252 incidents nationwide involving candidates and voters
- 30 detained candidates (550 thousand in total), mainly orally
- 36 voters arrested, primarily for practicing exit
Minister Barroso asks voters to insist on the e-Title application
