Obamacare websites have "no safeguards" to protect Americans who enroll in the health insurance exchanges from hackers who will "empty your bank account," according to internet security pioneer John McAfee.

McAfee said he could create a fake Obamacare exchange website for "a couple hundred dollars" and expect a big return on the scam.

"I'll ask you your social security, your date of birth, [so] an hour later I can empty your bank account," he told Fox News' Gretchen Carlson.

"And this is going to happen, it's going to happen soon. Nothing in the Obamacare system safeguards against this," he said.

The interview was a follow-up to McAfee's conversation with Fox's Neil Cavuto last week.

Can the hackers beat the government to it? lol

[lee martell]

And why wouldn’t this happen? These are ripe red apples waiting to be picked and hauled away.

Oh well, don't say we didn't tell you so....

[Red Steel]

Obamacare is a big fat target.

[sheikdetailfeather]

All this fear mongering! Obama is so smart it has to be safe. It has to be just fine.

[Revolting cat!]

If you like tinkering, computers, programming, what’s not to like?

[Praxeologue]

And yet the public is oblivious to these dangers. It’s all the Tea Party’s fault.

I guess Mr. McAfee ought to know. I get dozens of these emails posing as my credit card bank needing information and maintenance. I can see the writing on the wall. We’re going down a creek and no one has a paddle. The falls are not far away.

[Vigilanteman]

That’s what happens when you put an unaccountable monopoly in charge. But I’m sure Eric Holder’s justice department will decline to prosecute if the scammers are “his” people. Or even if they arrange a suitable donation of their proceeds to a DNC approved entity. It is the Chicago Way.

If I were a criminal I would become a navigator and go straight to Broward county where they defied Gov. Scott and will allow the navigators access to the areas in which they can access the records. DUH!

[C. Edmund Wright]

This would be “Schaden-FRAUD” - the perverse pleasure of the torments of others WHO DESERVED IT based on believing in ObamaFraud.

My new motto: GO HACKERS! DEFUND THE LEFT on dupe at a time....

Obamacare enrollees' bank accounts

Obamacare enrollees don't have bank accounts, all they have is SNAP cards.

[Revolting cat!]

Oh no, hackers gone steal mah foo stams!

[Revolting cat!]

Just so long as they be not touching my Obamafoam account!

[Hardraade]

Well, John certainly knows about scams and he has sure suffered at the hands of *his* establishment. I’ve given him a few licks myself.

But if he can help bring down the creep, he’ll be all redeemed, far as I’m concerned.

Coming soon: obama hacker insurance for only 50.00/month- 10,000 deductable, 90,00 max.

[Tammy8]

I guess the best tip off to a fake site at this point would be if it is working.
