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.

Can I steal that?

FUBAR? Is that the same as FUBO?

I’ve been told it it.

What Idiots? The Government of course.
Every time I see the end of Indiana Jones "Raiders of the Lost Ark" where the government man assures Indiana that they have "TOP MEN" taking good care of the Ark, I always have to laugh.
This 0bamacare roll out is a prime example of what the governments "TOP MEN" would come up with.
In the movie they just archived the darn thing, never to see the light of day again.
I wish they had done that with 0-care.

My communist senator, Shuuuuuuuuuuuuumer received a nasty-gram from me today.

They must have a site where you can plug in numbers but NO ID information to do some comparative shopping.

I told him, his gestapo IRS would be data mining this to ruin the finances of anyone who dares cross the Prophet Obunghole.

Gestapo....Shummer..... sorry just daydreaming.

I was interested in the “Setting up your own server” statement. Can someone explain the advantage in this? I have alays wondered about the anonymous servers out there. I can’t see how anything is anonymous. The hackers seem to get away with everything and no one is able to catch them.

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.

Say what you want about him he is totally right on this topic.

I thought I read somewhere that they made the source code for the site available too.

If true, you can presumably easily figure out how the backend works, making all sorts of mischief even easier.

What could possibly go wrong?

John McAfee is a scam artist and always was.

As such, he's uniquely qualified to comment on this, possibly the biggest scam yet perpetrated.

Does anybody know where you apply to be a “navigator” ? I think it might be fun.
