No security ever built into Obamacare site: Hacker
cnbc ^ | 11/25/2013 | By: Matthew J. Belvedere

Posted on 12/02/2013 5:34:50 PM PST by tobyhill

It could take a year to secure the risk of "high exposures" of personal information on the federal Obamacare online exchange, a cybersecurity expert told CNBC on Monday. "When you develop a website, you develop it with security in mind. And it doesn't appear to have happened this time," said David Kennedy, a so-called "white hat" hacker who tests online security by breaching websites. He testified on Capitol Hill about the flaws of HealthCare.gov last week.

"It's really hard to go back and fix the security around it because security wasn't built into it," said Kennedy, chief executive of TrustedSec. "We're talking multiple months to over a year to at least address some of the critical-to-high exposures on the website itself."

According to the Department of Health and Human Services, which oversaw the implementation of the website, the components used to build the site are compliant with standards set by Federal security authorities.

"When you develop a website, you develop it with security in mind. And it doesn't appear to have happened this time,"

Unbelievable.

At this point in history how could anyone build any website that does not have security as their first priority?

If for no other reason than you do not want hackers high jacking your site.

But this site is being built for commercial reasons. This site is supposedly designed to handle personal data and accept payments. How could they not have had security as a major concern?

But this was a no bid contract and the Obama administration got the best people available. /S

It’s redistribution at work. Why should I be allowed my own identity and credit. I should be forced to share it with those less fortunate and all that....

They want the exchanges to fail, in order to force "white Amerika" onto Medicaid, as a matter of "social justice."

See tag line.

Could anyone just consider challenging this on the grounds that it is completely, and totally illegal, through the HIPAA laws to disregard privacy in the entire field of medicine?

” - - - He [Carney] also reinforced the White House’s earlier promises, going back to early in 2010, that President Obama himself would sign up for Affordable Care Act coverage.
‘He will,’ Carney confirmed. - - - “

THIS IS GREAT NEWS !

At last, we will be able to hack into the medical and personal sealed records of B. Hussein Obama!

The Army Doctors at Walter Reed will be a treasure trove of deeply person information on B. Hussein!

BTW, you don’t think that B. Hussein would actually lie about anything in his medical records do you?
