Report: Minn. ObamaCare employee accidentally leaked sensitive data
The Hill ^ | September 13, 2013 | By Elise Viebeck

An employee of Minnesota's new ObamaCare exchange reportedly leaked sensitive data by accident in an email.

The error occurred Thursday when an MNsure staffer sent an email file containing the Social Security numbers and contact information for more than 2,400 insurance agents to one broker's office.

The mistake, which appeared tied to human error, highlights worries from ObamaCare's critics that the law's new exchanges will not sufficiently protect enrollees' private data.

The average ObamaCare employee probably has a single digit IQ. Just like the average Obama supporter.

“Accidentally?” We’re supposed to believe it was just an “accident?”

Obamacare exchange workers are those who couldn’t make the cut for TSA. The real cream of the crap.

...’highlights worries from critics of Obama care...’

Does she mean the 72% of Americans who don’t want this thing - with this expected invasion of privacy to occur as smarter of course, and with as much sanction to the offender as a schmoozing of a state dept head after Benghazi?

That is not worry That’s dread. The author should use a dictionary.

If conservative papers can’t present our case the forget them

The job qualification test probably consists of one question: Can you breathe?

Any modern mail server will have content filtering capability to block email that contains potentially sensetive information, and built-in filters for PCI information like SSNs and credit card numbers.

There's no exuse for this.

The slipshod way Obamacare is being implemented almost assures that sensitive information especially our medical records will be easily compromised and accessible to hundreds of bureaucrats and political hacks to do with as they want. I fully expect if Obamacare is implemented personal medical records of opposition political candidates will be used in smear campaigns and members of Tea Party groups may be denied medical care.

Not that I know of, but remember they’re spending taxpayer money here... nothing can stand in the way. I’m sure we can trust them to rely on “Affirmative Action” and “Diversity Quotas” just in case the pool of qualified applicants has run dry. /s

Probably 50% are illegal immigrants. The other 50% are older members of the Obama Youth program.
