McAfee Antivirus founder: “What idiot put this system out there?”
Hot Air ^ | October 3,2013 | ERIKA JOHNSEN

Oh, it’s seriously bad. Somebody made a grave error, not in designing the program but in simply implementing the web aspect of it. For example, anybody can put up a web page and claim to be a broker for this system.

There is no central place where I can go and say, OK, here are all the legitimate brokers, the examiners for all of the states, and pick and choose one. Instead, any hacker can put a website up, make it look extremely competitive, and because of the nature of the system — this is health care, after all — they can ask you the most intimate questions, and you’re freely going to answer them. What’s my Social Security number? My birth date? …

Here’s the problem. It’s not something software can solve. I mean, what idiot put this system out there and did not create a central depository? There should be one website, run by the government, you go to that website and then you can click on all of the agencies. This is insane. So, I will predict that the loss of income for the millions of Americans who are going to lose their identities — I mean, you can imagine some retired lady in Utah, who’s $75,000 dollars in the bank, saving her whole life — having it wiped out one day because she signed up for ObamaCare. And believe me, this is going to happen millions of times.

This is a hacker’s wet dream. I cannot believe that they did this. … ObamaCare itself is the loosest of all. You can imagine the type of information: Medical records, personal issues, psychological issues. I mean, the government’s going to know everything in the world about everyone very soon.

Obama’s gang-member campaign donors must have designed it.
The media will say nothing of course.

This is all intentional, of course, as no person could be this incompetent on so many things without drowning himself in the shower.

John McAfee is a scam artist and always was. So are many, many of the others in the same business, but John was the first bandit.

One good sized weight on the scale.

The weight is on the side of CW-II.

Tried to Google which Obama crony won the contract to develop the online POS SW and couldn’t find it. That means this was backdoor cronyism.

I did turn up this:

https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity&mode=form&id=5df826c4c0af0657cfc0c5b0830aa47b&tab=core&_cview=0

An IRS RFI (request for INFORMATION) to develop S/W tools for the IRS to respond to ACA needs.

This was sent out in APRIL of THIS year!

These effing fools didn’t even start anything until THIS year? And this is a request for information only. Not a CONTRACT.

We are so totally effed here.

Obama gave all the implementation money to his buddies in the SEIU and ACORN,

and a minimal amount was spent to implement the websites.

OTOH, this could have been clever form of sabotage. It’s what I would have considered. A thousand ways to gank this pile of crap.

Words fail me Ace. Are they really that dumb? How the hell could they not considered the fact that you have to have a way of validating entities that are a part of the system, and not just someone trolling for info to use for nefarious purposes?
