No backup? That really is nuts.

Hey, when most of the budget goes for kickbacks and favors you have to cut somewhere. /s

Remember, you are being FORCED to buy this.

Then they best TRY to enFORCE it. I aint buying anything they have to sell. And if they want to take it they are in for a fight.

F**K these commie tyrants and everyone that supports them. I have drawn my line in the sand.

680 MILLION DOLLARS and not even a simple backup server... I mean Microsoft will sell you the software!

I would think the systems would be getting backed up. I am guessing that the report meant to say there were no failover systems in place. If they are adding hardware to handle more load it likely broke any failover setup they had in place. Or it could reflect that they were not ready to go live, which testimony supports.

If they were doing this correctly, backup would not even be of a concern. They do not know what they are doing and reports are that hackers broke the security last week and changed some passwords... and that is unforgivable in any reality.

“I could think of nothing more fitting for Obamacare than if it were to be discovered that Russian hackers made off with the ID’s of every registrant for the last 29 days...”

All 52 of them? ROFLMSS. I kill myself! *SNORT*

Yes, that security "hole" was filmed in 2007:

Even if they had a functioning high availability system in place, they would still need to backups. Ditto on unforgivable..

Could it be safe to assume that any global hacker worth his salt has already accessed the database and all the info in it prior to the "fix"?

The story gives the impression that all is now well, the hole has been plugged.....but what went on before the plug?

ACORN internet cafes are sprouting up to get their members into the system to gather personal info and to hack your bank accounts.
