INSOSO Election 2025 – Important Update & Member Advisory
The Election Team wishes to reassure all members that the INSOSO Election 2025 system remains fully secure, uncompromised, and is operating on schedule. Recent disturbances caused by a few mischievous actors have been analysed, contained, and neutralised. Voting continues normally.
Summary of Reported Incidents (13 Nov 2025)
1. Misleading screenshots falsely presented as “leaked results”.
Temporary diagnostic cache pages, inadvertently visible on Google for a short period, were picked up and circulated as “election results”. These were not generated by the election results program and contained no real or correct data. The issue has been rectified.
2. Attempts at multiple voting through automated scripts.
A bot-driven attempt to submit multiple votes using stolen or misused member credentials was detected and blocked. Only the first genuine vote of each member is counted; all duplicate or script-generated entries are automatically nullified.
3. Denial-of-Service (DOS) attack causing temporary slowdown.
A targeted DOS attack created spurious traffic and briefly impacted portal performance. The offending IP was identified and blacklisted after which normal operations were restored.
Findings from System Audit
Our audit trails have already identified the IP addresses and user credentials involved in these malafide activities—including attempts at automated voting and deliberate disruption of portal performance.
These findings have been shared with the Election Authorities. Members whose credentials were used in such actions may face inquiry and potential legal consequences.
All affected members are advised to change their passwords immediately to prevent misuse by third parties.
Your Vote Is Safe. The Election Is Secure.
The integrity of the election has not been compromised at any stage.
All malicious activities have been detected, blocked, and nullified.
The voting system continues to function as designed, with strong safeguards and real-time monitoring.
INSOSO Election 2025 will continue exactly as scheduled.
Thank you for your cooperation and for ignoring rumours and misinformation.
” The Society’s main activity then was the publication of the Sociological Bulletin which was started in 1952 and was printed biannually. “
