Since the troubled Healthcare.gov website launched it's been hit by 16 cyber-attacks, according to the Department of Homeland security.

Um, those were the lucky 16 that got through, and now they're called hackers because
nobody is allowed to actually get through. Get the NSA on them immediately!

The media will blame the Tea Party for a high tech cyber attack. Tomorrow they will be calling them a bunch of stupid inbred hicks again.

Has to be wacko bird hobbits on the right, if it was communists or jihadists, they’d sit back and let everyone get crushed by Obamacare.

Or at least they’d let the populace surrender all of their personal data first.

It would seem that 0KillerCare would be a rich, fat, obvious target very vulnerable as it rolls out daily changes.

1. “If it hadn’t been for all the Tea Party hacking Obamacare roll-out would have been smooth”

2. “We must crack down on the internet”

Hacking an Obamacare website probably gets you about as much cred in the hacker community as beating a worn-out moped does at the drag strip.

It probably wasn't the Chicoms this time. They will wait patiently until the database is full. Then Hu and the boys will blackmail everyone with the info. Or, open a bunch of American Express accounts.

This is obviously a White House propaganda article.
