Safely Opening PDFs Received By E-mail (or Fax?™

Many election administrators in U.S. states and counties need to receive and open PDF files from voters. Some of these administrators receive these PDFs as e-mail attachments. These may be filled-out voter registration forms, or even voted ballots from UOCAVA (overseas and military) voters. We all know that malware can lurk in e-mail attachments; how can those election officials protect themselves from being hacked?

Internet return of voted ballots is inherently insecure; that’s a separate issue and I’ll discuss it below. For now, how can one safely open a PDF attachment?

I discussed this question with Dan Guido, cybersecurity consultant and CEO of trailofbits.com. The safe way to view a PDF is inside the Chrome or Firefox browser. Printing a PDF directly from Chrome (or Firefox) to your printer is reasonably safe. The unsafe way to view a PDF is with your favorite PDF-viewer app such as Adobe Reader.

The reason is simple: Google (for Chrome) and Mozilla (for Firefox) have put enormous effort into making their PDF viewers safe, putting them inside a “sandbox” that the hackers can’t get out of - and they’ve largely succeeded.

The PDF file format has Contact support for online fax services hundreds of obscure features and complex functionality that are not needed for simple documents. Chrome and Firefox don’t bother to understand the obscure features: they concentrate on getting the common features displayed safely. On the other hand, Adobe Reader does handle all the features of PDF; that’s a much larger thing to get perfectly right, and (perhaps) security is not Adobe’s highest priority.

Sometimes that means that Chrome or Firefox don’t render your document properly; but this is unlikely to be a problem for simple documents such as voter-registration forms or optical-scan ballots.

In some ways that’s a bit disappointing. I like Adobe Reader’s navigation and document-viewing facilities much more than I like the browser’s built-in PDF display. But I should be careful to use Adobe tools only for documents whose provenance I know, or that have been otherwise vetted.

If you do save your PDF to a file, and are tempted to open it later: again, you can use Chrome or Firefox to open it. (See also: PDF.js) If you want to open it in a full-featured (but less secure) tool, first use a PDF “triage tool” such as PDFid, which will scan the file and tell you if anything looks suspicious.

Is it safe to use Fax?

Many jurisdictions still permit (or require) forms and ballots to be sent to them by Fax. Is that safe?

Once upon a time, a “fax machine” was connected to a “land line” that went through the “phone network.” How safe that was in 1985 is no longer relevant today, when nobody has a “fax machine” and the “phone network” is the Internet.

Most voters, and many election administrators, use on-line fax services such as HelloFax. The voter logs in and upload a PDF file; the fax service converts it to a fax-format bitstream and sends it into the part of the Internet called “the phone system”; the receiver logs in (perhaps to a different on-line fax service) and downloads a PDF file that has been converted from the bitstream.

This has so many points of insecurity: the sender’s online-fax service company may be more or less vulnerable to hackers (or insiders); the receiver’s online-fax service, ditto; and the fax-format bitstream is transmitted unencrypted, unauthenticated across the phone network.

In contrast, e-mail can be a lot more secure than that. If you use a major e-mail provider (such as gmail, Microsoft, fastmail) that knows what it’s doing; and if the recipient also uses a reputable e-mail provider, then: your e-mail is uploaded encrypted (and authenticated) to an SMTP server, which goes encrypted (and authenticated) to another SMTP server, which is downloaded encrypted (and authenticated) to the recipient’s mail reader. The vast majority of Internet e-mail traffic is protected this way.

So e-mail your stuff, don’t fax it.

Is e-mail secure? Can we vote that way?

If e-mail is so much more secure than it was 30 years ago, can we safely vote by e-mail?

Unfortunately, no. Even if Internet messages (by e-mail or other protocols) are safe in transmission, the biggest security lapses are in the server computers and especially in the client’s (voter’s) computers. Hackers who can penetrate the security of those systems can change votes before they’re sent, or after they’re received (but before they’re counted).

Furthermore, e-mail is sent from the voter’s computer to the SMTP server (at Google, or Microsoft, or fastmail…) where it is unencrypted and reencrypted for sending to the receiver’s SMTP server (at Microsoft, or fastmail, or Google, …). It’s like, you mail your absentee ballot to your landlord, who takes it out of its envelope, puts it in a fresh envelope, and mails it to an election official. Even if we trust our landlord (and I expect Google, Microsoft, and fastmail are doing a good job), should we need to trust this intermediary? The citizenry elect their government; we don’t entrust this process to a few big tech companies.

And finally, 6% of email (that’s either outbound or inbound from gmail.com) is still unencrypted-that is, insecure. Six percent may not seem like a lot, but it’s millions of users.

Is e-mail voter-registration secure enough?

Internet return of voted ballots, which is not securable by any known technology. But voter-registration can reasonably be done by e-mail: the voter sends in a form, perhaps a scan-to-PDF of their printed and signed registration form. The reason this can work, when it can’t work for voted ballots, is the ability to audit the individual transaction: after a few days, the voter can check the status of their registration with the election official, or the election official can contact the voter to check up. So even if there’s hacking in the client or server computer, it can be detected and corrected. With ballots, we have the secret ballot: nobody is supposed to learn how you voted. Without the ability to check and correct later, “did my ballot get counted for the person I voted for?”, internet voting is insecurable.

Arizona Unemployment Claims Can Be Faxed If The Online Form Breaks™

Having trouble filing your weekly unemployment claim? You're not alone

Opinion: Can't file your weekly claim for unemployment benefits online? This may not solve your problem, but at least there is a workaround.

I share this story of frustration, partially out of solidarity with others who are having similar problems, but also to share a workaround.

Arizona’s online form to file a weekly claim for unemployment benefits has a glitch. Or, at least, it has what I thought was one.

The problem lies with Question 5, which asks, “Did you work or earn any money from Sunday, April 19, 2020 through Saturday, April 25, 2020, including part-time work, even though you may not have received payment at this time?”

The answer to that question, in my case, is no.

I was on furlough that week. I did not work. I did not earn any income.

But the question only offers “yes” as a response. There is no option to click “no.”

The system has been deluged

I tried to file my weekly claim on Monday morning. I logged out and in again from multiple internet browsers, including my phone. Still no button to click “no.”

I tried to call customer service, the first of about a dozen calls over four days to the line. I couldn’t even get into the queue to wait for a representative. It told me there were too many calls to take any more.

No wonder. More than 500,000 people - 7% of the state’s population - have filed for unemployment benefits in the last seven weeks. The aging state system wasn’t designed for this.

I found a web form to report an error with the online application. I described the problem in detail.

The next morning, I called the customer service line again. Still too busy to put me in the queue.

I called back in the afternoon and got in the queue for new claims.

I finally got through, but got no help

Twenty-five minutes later, I reached an agent, who told me she had never heard of my problem before. I asked if I could send her a screenshot.

No, she said. She didn’t have that ability.

Instead, she said, I needed to call back on the customer service line and talk to someone in existing claims.

I asked if she could transfer me. In previous calls, I was unable to even get into the queue to wait.

No, she said.

So, I called back another two times and couldn’t get into the queue.

Frustrated, I went outside and screamed. At least that made me feel better.

I emailed the Unemployment Insurance Client Take a look at the site here Advocate, describing the problem in detail and attaching a screenshot of the problematic question.

On Thursday, I got an automated email saying I still hadn’t filed my claim, and that I needed to file by 6 p.m. Friday to keep my claim active.

How am I supposed to do that when everything I’ve read said I need to file online?

You can fax the form, at least

After more calls to the line for existing claims, I decided to go the new claims route once again. Maybe I’ll get a different answer from another agent. And a half-hour later, I did.

She said there are printed forms on the website you can fill out, sign and fax to the office. At des.az.gov, go to the “Document Center” tab. Click on “Forms” in the drop-down menu, then choose “Weekly Claim for Unemployment Insurance (UI) Benefits.”

You can print the form and fax it to one of the two numbers on the form.

I’m not sure why this option is not well advertised. In fact, the frequently asked questions on the website notes that “To maintain benefits, applicants are required to file a weekly claim by visiting our online Unemployment Insurance claims system.”

It’s unclear how many people have had problems with the state system. We’ve heard plenty of anecdotes from readers. I asked the Department of Economic Security if it was tracking how many people might be running into trouble filing their claims. It said it had no way to track this information.

But the deluge of calls on existing claims seems to suggest that there are a lot of frustrated people out there.

And probably a lot of missed benefits that didn’t have to be that way.

UPDATE: I was finally able to speak with someone about my claim on May 4 and found that the reason I only had a “yes” answer to the “did you make money” question was because I chose the wrong last day worked. My last day worked was a Friday, not a Sunday, when my furlough began (I received some erroneous advice on that before filing. Sorry).

The agent corrected my claim, and the next day, the “no” button correctly appeared. I refiled online, as the agent suggested, so things appear to be resolved.

Yet I’m one of the lucky ones. Many others who have contacted me say they are still unable to get in the queue, with unresolved problems and bills quickly coming due.

My heart aches for them.

Online Fax Service Know Exactly What You're e mail to fax services Buying - Fax™

Online fax services have become very popular in today's "outsourced" working environments and may even some day replace the old traditional fax machine. These outsourced fax services are a simple form of "cloud computing", where your business tasks are handled by a third party; in this case, all your faxing needs.

An online fax service simply uses your current email system and your web connection to send and receive all your faxes. In this new modern way of faxing, your faxes are sent as email attachments in a variety of formats (mostly Tiff or Pdf). In order to use such a fax service, you must first sign up to an online provider, who will act as an intermediary on your behalf.

However, like outsourcing any business task to a third party, you must do your homework or it could cost your company in time and money. You must thoroughly check out any online fax service you plan on using and make sure it is a quality service with good support. Here are some factors to consider to make sure you get the right fax service for your needs.

Compare The Prices, Rates and Plans

You must first carefully compare the different fax providers and their plans. This includes the monthly fee or charge and how many faxes (incoming and outgoing) you can send/receive each month. You must also check how many users or email addresses are allotted to each account. You must also check the overage fees which are charged if you go over your limit for the month, this charge can range from 3 to 10 cents so it pays to shop around.

Methods Of Faxing

Each online fax service provider may have certain ways to use their services, many can be used with your email program such as Outlook Express, Microsoft Office or even a desktop application which lets you send and receive your faxes on your computer desktop. Most, if not all, of these fax providers will give you an online account or interface where you can log on to check and send your faxes. Keep in mind, your faxes can also be stored in your account but each provider has different storage limits and rules, so check these before you buy your fax service.

Corporate Plans & Scalability

Most of these providers will offer corporate plans which can be custom fitted to suit your company's faxing needs, especially if you do large volumes of faxing. You can probably also get discount rates so check this out before you buy. In addition, check the scalability of the faxing plan, can you easily add or subtract fax numbers should you need to?

Support Hours and Quality

Another important factor you should check are the support hours and the quality of this support. Are your questions answered quickly? Are your problems solved swiftly? These are really important factors you must check before you buy.

Set-up & Free 30 Day Trials

You must check out how much it is to set-up your fax number and service. Most providers don't charge you a set-up fee and usually you have a choice of a local or toll-free fax number. But some times these providers will charge extra for a toll-free number so check this first. Thankfully, most of the well known online fax services will offer a Free 30 Day Trial period where you can check out the quality of their service before you buy.

Finally, if you check out all of the points above, finding an affordable online fax service which will meet all your faxing needs should not be a major problem. Just keep in mind, this is usually a long-term or ongoing business expense, so it does pay to do a little research now and save yourself from any headaches and problems in the future.
