The man who appeared before Congress last week to explain the security pitfalls of HealthCare.gov took to Fox News on Sunday to explain just how easy it was to penetrate the website.
Hacking expert David Kennedy told Fox’s Chris Wallace that gaining access to 70,000 personal records of Obamacare enrollees via HealthCare.gov took about 4 minutes and required nothing more than a standard browser, the Daily Caller reported.
“And 70,000 was just one of the numbers that I was able to go up to and I stopped after that,” he said. “You know, I’m sure it’s hundreds of thousands, if not more, and it was done within about a 4 minute timeframe. So, it’s just wide open.”

And “progressive” education.
The average millennial knows more about “climate change” than the US Constitution.

It probably is.
I imagine if needed, the Dems will issue an “executive order” to reimburse for any frauds, assuming you’re a registered Democrat.

Wait till the Russian mob starts cracking it, we’ll be hearing about a few billion being siphoned off to some doctor who doesn’t exist in Florida.

Mostly all they are getting so far is 0bama phone numbers, Ebt card numbers and bad credit reports...

Must have done SQL injection? LOL. Wouldn't surprise me. I had to fix a system that displayed that weakness about, oh, FIVE YEARS AGO. Sheesh.

We have to have you sign up for healthcare so everyone can find out what’s in your bank account and your 401(k)!!! Actually they have had a pretty good idea what is in it before ACA was passed...

Four minutes and someone knows all there is to know about you. Why isn’t it a https site?

On Fox News Sunday, he said he didn’t even have to hack into healthcare.gov. All that information was visible without any hacking. If I had enrolled using an exchange, I would have signed up for a 90 day fraud alert. I would have also highly consider doing a credit freeze even before this latest info..

The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat.
I think the greatest threat is the traitorous GOPe who pretend to be opposition but are partners with the dumbocrats and drive-by media.

0bama care website is like a Car, left running, windows down and doors wide open, with a sign that says, “tank is full-free to a good home”

Must have done SQL injection?I wouldn't doubt it -- lol. I hope the site developers had the sense to use prepared statements.
