A hacker broke into part of the HealthCare.gov insurance enrollment website in July and uploaded malicious software, according to federal officials.

Investigators found no evidence that consumers' personal data was taken in the breach, federal officials said. The hacker appears only to have accessed a server used to test code for HealthCare.gov. The Department of Health and Human Services discovered the attack last week.

This happened in July and they just discovered it last week? So a month to almost two months go by before this breach shows up during one of their “daily” security scans. They either don’t look at them or don’t they know how to interpret them.

Love how they patted themselves on the back for having disclosed the attack to the public, though. A private business wouldn’t have told on themselves, dontcha know. Even though this was in print, I could actually hear the spokesdoofus saying “so there.”

Whatever reassurances the federal gov’t issues about this, or any other breach, it’s worthless.
