“EVM MEIN GADBAD HAI, USNE EVM HACKING KIYA!”

Yeah. We’ve all heard something like this. Usually from politicians who have JUST suffered a defeat in an election.

On this episode of The Big Story podcast, we answer the age-old question, “Can you hack an EVM?” We speak to Hari Prasad, a man who attempted an EVM hack in 2010. We'll also tell you why he was arrested, how he tried to hack the EVMs, and other people who have faced similar consequences. Joining me on this episode is The Quint’s tech and policy correspondent Sushovan Sircar who spoke to Prasad.
