There are people that trust when they go to US Government sites that their data is secure. They need to know that it is not.
I am sure there are older people who blindly trust the government that may have their personal info hacked...

I heard they solved the security problem by giving out Lifelock memberships.

Just to put a fine point on it, you cannot “hack” a system that has no security in the first place.
Open systems are simply free for all’s in the tech world.

This sounds like the kind of gross negligence that can send a CEO to jail in private industry.

The ONLY way this will go away to defund it and move on.
Even if Chris "leg-man" Matthews himself would have gotten his personal data hacked due to the ACA site, he would not fault BO and the ACA..his take is that we need the ACA and that $hit like this just happens.

Obama would come down hard on such a CEO and make a public display of such incompetence.
Yet if one of his buddies does this (Sebelius), this is okay...
And, of course, the head of the company responsible is good friends with Michelle Obama (using who you know/who you blow to do business with)...

They are giving away Lifelock memberships with every new signup.

Every person who looses or has lost his/her health care due to 0dumbocare should jump on the band wagon and hack away. That in itself should tie the POS website up for eternity.

topher: No security ever built into Obamacare site: Hacker
I read the article on CNBC
It is Very evident that the FED Government made no provision for security !
Go figure !
By going to the healthcare.gov website , you have the choice of fraud and theft by Govt. , or , identity theft by hackers .
What a choice !
That is why I say that this 'pogram' was purposely , from the very start , designed to fail.

Actually, if a hacker were to get a hold of some pro-Obama celebrity’s personal info through the healthcare account and post it for the world to see, that might speed up the demise of ObamaCare. At a minimum, it would have the DEMs playing even more defense on ObamaCare and the *true* conservatives ramming it down their throats in the 2014 elections.

They are not going to take it offline. Political points are riding on it.
And if anybody gets their data hacked, the government will tell them to go to hell. The victim has no recourse.

“The ONLY way this will go away to defund it and move on.”
Defunding it won’t make it go away. It may block the government from doing certain things, but not all, and it provides no legal protection for companies that decide to ignore it. There needs to be a functional path out of it.

The Kennedy fellow on the CNBC video said the government doesn’t even have to NOTIFY them that they’ve been hacked. Unbelievable.

That’s not quite true. They built on an interface to block people from getting plan information until they entered personally identifiable information.

I dont believe that blocking data from the legally mandated consumer
counts as " website security" .
I consider it as "Bait and Switch" ..or playing financial 'three-card montey'
