SQL Server Port Open to Global Connections (CO)

Established Fact

Forensic examination of Dominion Democracy Suite EMS in Mesa County documented that SQL Server port 1433 was configured to accept connections from any IP address worldwide – enabling any actor with credentials to directly query and modify election databases outside the certified application layer. Investigators demonstrated this empirically: a non-Dominion workstation and even an iPhone SQL client were used to directly modify election databases in the live EMS environment.
