Apart from ADA stuff it simply isn't working for blind hams. Besides,
the autobots have gotten advanced now to the point where they are

Not sure what can be done other than maybe invalidate awards from
automated robot cheating.

Hi Ria,
if an attacker modifies the WSJT-X source code then they have to
distribute that to spread their malware, that would be in violation of
the GPL Open Source Licence if they don't also publish their sources
etc.. We have other defences against that, not least the community
*should* actively shun such behaviour since it could easily cause key
contributors to the WSJT projects to quit and do something else where
their efforts are better appreciated and their rights as original
authors unviolated. Free Open Source software is not without problems
but if everyone understands that there are responsibilities as well as
advantages then the efforts of the few with the vision, time and the
skills can benefit the community greatly.
