MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — Officials overseeing the Vermont Health Connect website confirmed Friday there was a security breach on the system last month in which one user got improper access to another user’s Social Security number and other data.
A report from state to federal officials overseeing the health insurance exchanges set up under the Affordable Care Act said a consumer reported the incident with the Vermont Health Connect website on Oct. 17.
The consumer, whom officials would not identify, reported that he received in the mail — from an unnamed sender — a copy of his own application for insurance under the state exchange.
“On the back of the envelope was hand-written ‘VERMONT HEALTH CONNECT IS NOT A SECURE WEBSITE!’ This was also (written) on the back of the last page of the printed out application,” said the incident report.

It’s amazing. I didn’t see this coming. (/sarc)
The only one (security breach) where the person who got someone else’s information took the effort to notify the person whose information they got. Like the man in NC.
There is NOT only one security breach!
another user's = many other users'
i am going to be the first to predict the fedgov solution to the obamacare website security problem:
TSA is going to now prescreen and search everyone attempting to log onto the obamacare website. we tank you for your understanding and ask that you shut the hell up in advance.

It’s the government, so the injured parties have no recourse.
OmooMooCare
So far tiny Vermont has paid $84 million to CGI (same company the feds used) in the hopes of signing up 100,000 people, most of whom will be on Medicaid. It’s estimated the state will need $1.6 - 2.0 billion per year to run the ‘health care’ program.
If you like your personal private data you can keep your personal private data!
