(1,189 posts)Distributed batch job execution that runs programs on servers are usually set up with a primary and a secondary server....serverA and ServerB......per url addresses.
Same program/script names are usually on both servers....but I believe serverB's pgm is rigged. Call it scriptZ
A Virtual server name is created....say ABC...both servers are defined to ABC definition.
Officials are checking/testing scriptZ on ServerA and don't even know there's a 'back door'.
A 'switch' process script is written and job created for it.
99% of the time the application batch is running on ServerA (primary)... The switch job/script is executed and now the ABC virtual name references ServerB and the script runs there instead....but the scriptZ on ServerB can have different programming that flips vote counts.
Anyone in IT, working with scheduling/running batch on distributed servers can understand how the originally intended ServerA/scriptZ has been compromised and is running on ServerB...could be miles away. Run that 'switch job' again and the files sent back, with flipped votes finishes up running on ServerA. Anyone even staring at the screen cannot see what happened 'behind the scene' that executed elsewhere and reverted back. You'd have to examine logs..follow url's.
