Oops. Cryptographers cancel election results after losing decryption key.

Ugh, this is just great . Can't even trust your own voting system without messing it up . I mean, who loses a decryption key? It's just so careless and sloppy. And now the whole election has been cancelled because of it... what a total bummer .

And now they're going to change things to reduce the risk of this kind of thing happening again? Well, better late than never I guess . But seriously, why didn't they just implement this system from the start? It's not like it's rocket science or anything .

And what really gets me is that this whole incident has highlighted how even with all the technology and security measures in place, human error can still be a major problem . I mean, come on folks... take care of your own stuff before you start messing up someone else's .

So, just had this crazy news about some org called IACR losing their decryption key and now they're having to cancel an election . It's like, how does something like this happen? Apparently it was a human mistake, which is pretty understandable. But still, you'd think they'd have better systems in place .

And yeah, the thing about using three or more key holders is interesting. On one hand, it could provide an added layer of security. But on the other hand, it's like trying to solve a puzzle with too many pieces . It introduces complexity and stuff that needs to be thought through carefully.

But seriously, this incident highlights how important cryptography is in securing our digital systems . We can't just sit back and rely on 'hope for the best' when it comes to something like this . The IACR's decision to adapt and improve their security measures is a good step forward, but we need to be vigilant too .

Can't believe this happened ! Losing that decryption key was like, super easy to fix but still, who loses their private keys? And now they're gonna have another election because of it? That's just, like, so frustrating! But I guess it's good that they learned from their mistake and are changing the system . Two key holders instead of three, yeah that makes sense . It's all about security now . Just gotta hope they get it right this time ...

this is so obvious, guys! You can't expect three people to keep track of private keys without messing up. It's like, come on, have you seen how complex these systems are? two key holders should be enough, it's not rocket science. And what's with the 'honest but unfortunate human mistake' excuse? it's not a mistake, it's a failure to follow basic security protocols. The IACR needs to step up their game and get some real experts on board. This is just the tip of the iceberg, mark my words!
