Declaration of XXXXXXXXX.
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C Section 1746, I, XXXXXXXX, make the following
declaration.
1. I am over the age of 21 years and I am under no legal disability, which would prevent me
from giving this declaration.
2. I was an electronic intelligence analyst under 305th Military Intelligence with experience
gathering SAM missile system electronic intelligence. I have extensive experience as a white
hat hacker used by some of the top election specialists in the world. The methodologies I
have employed represent industry standard cyber operation toolkits for digital forensics and
OSINT, which are commonly used to certify connections between servers, network nodes
and other digital properties and probe to network system vulnerabilities.
3. I am a US citizen and I reside at {redacted} location in the United States of America.
4. Whereas the Dominion and Edison Research systems exist in the internet of things, and
whereas this makes the network connections between the Dominion, Edison Research and
related network nodes available for scanning,
5. And whereas Edison Research’s primary job is to report the tabulation of the count of the
ballot information as received from the tabulation software, to provide to Decision HQ for
election results,
6. And whereas Spiderfoot and Robtex are industry standard digital forensic tools for evaluation
network security and infrastructure, these tools were used to conduct public security scans of
the aforementioned Dominion and Edison Research systems,
7. A public network scan of Dominionvoting.com on 2020-11-08 revealed the following inter-
relationships and revealed 13 unencrypted passwords for dominion employees, and 75
hashed passwords available in TOR nodes:

8. The same public scan also showed a direct connection to the group in Belgrade as
highlighted below:
9. A cursory search on LinkedIn of “dominion voting” on 11/19/2020 confirms the numerous
employees in Serbia:

10. An additional search of Edison Research on 2020-11-08 showed that Edison Research has an
Iranian server seen here:
Inputting the Iranian IP into Robtex confirms the direct connection into the “edisonresearch”
host from the perspective of the Iranian domain also. This means that it is not possible that the
connection was a unidirectional reference.
A deeper search of the ownership of Edison Research “edisonresearch.com” shows a connection
to BMA Capital Management, where shareofear.com and bmacapital.com are both connected to
edisonresearch.com via a VPS or Virtual Private Server, as denoted by the “vps” at the start of
the internet name:

Dominionvoting is also dominionvotingsystems.com, of which there are also many more
examples, including access of the network from China. The records of China accessing the server
are reliable.

11. BMA Capital Management is known as a company that provides Iran access to capital
markets with direct links publicly discoverable on LinkedIn (found via google on
11/19/2020):

The same Robtex search confirms the Iranian address is tied to the server in the Netherlands,
which correlates to known OSINT of Iranian use of the Netherlands as a remote server (See
Advanced Persistent Threats: APT33 and APT34):
12. A search of the indivisible.org network showed a subdomain which evidences the existence
of scorecard software in use as part of the Indivisible (formerly ACORN) political group for
Obama:
13. Each of the tabulation software companies have their own central reporting “affiliate”.
Edison Research is the affiliate for Dominion.
14. Beanfield.com out of Canada shows the connections via co-hosting related sites, including
dvscorp.com:

This Dominion partner domain “dvscorp” also includes an auto discovery feature, where new in-
network devices automatically connect to the system. The following diagram shows some of the
related dvscopr.com mappings, which mimic the infrastructure for Dominion and are an obvious
typo derivation of the name. Typo derivations are commonly purchased to catch redirect traffic
and sometimes are used as honeypots. The diagram shows that infrastructure spans multiple
different servers as a methodology.

The above diagram shows how these domains also show the connection to Iran and other
places, including the following Chinese domain, highlighted below:
15. The auto discovery feature allows programmers to access any system while it is connected to
the internet once it’s a part of the constellation of devices (see original Spiderfoot graph).
16. Dominion Voting Systems Corporation in 2019 sold a number of their patents to China (via
HSBC Bank in Canada):

Of particular interest is a section of the document showing aspects of the nature of the patents
dealing with authentication:
17. Smartmatic creates the backbone (like the cloud). SCYTL is responsible for the security
within the election system.

18. In the GitHub account for Scytl, Scytl Jseats has some of the programming necessary to
support a much broader set of election types, including a decorator process where the data is
smoothed, see the following diagram provided in their source code:

19. Unrelated, but also a point of interest is CTCL or Center for Tech and Civic Life funded by
Mark Zuckerberg. Within their github page (https://github.com/ctcl), one of the programmers
holds a government position. The Bipcoop repo shows tanderegg as one of the developers,
and he works at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau:

20. As seen in included document titled
“AA20-304A-
Iranian_Advanced_Persistent_Threat_Actor_Identified_Obtaining_Voter_Registration_Data
” that was authored by the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) with a
Product ID of AA20-304A on a specified date of October 30, 2020, CISA and the FBI
reports that Iranian APT teams were seen using ACUTENIX, a website scanning software, to
find vulnerabilities within Election company websites, confirmed to be used by the Iranian
APT teams buy seized cloud storage that I had personally captured and reported to higher
authorities. These scanning behaviors showed that foreign agents of aggressor nations had
access to US voter lists, and had done so recently.
21. In my professional opinion, this affidavit presents unambiguous evidence that Dominion
Voter Systems and Edison Research have been accessible and were certainly compromised
by rogue actors, such as Iran and China. By using servers and employees connected with
rogue actors and hostile foreign influences combined with numerous easily discoverable
leaked credentials, these organizations neglectfully allowed foreign adversaries to access data

and intentionally provided access to their infrastructure in order to monitor and manipulate
elections, including the most recent one in 2020. This represents a complete failure of their
duty to provide basic cyber security. This is not a technological issue, but rather a
governance and basic security issue: if it is not corrected, future elections in the United States
and beyond will not be secure and citizens will not have confidence in the results.
I declare under penalty of perjury that the forgoing is true and correct to the best of my
knowledge. Executed this November 23th, 2020.
