Also, since no one knew what the site looked like or how it operated, how many people ended up on hacker mirror sites typing in their data ?
The republicans need to all get on this website together and make these servers smoke.
I’d bet serious money this POS was never load tested. If they had done real world load testing they would have easily seen where the bottle necks were.
Maybe they were scared to load test. Kinda like being afraid to rip off the band-aid ‘cause you know it’s gonna hurt.
Speaking of band-aids...
How in the h-e- double hockey sticks did this app make it through acceptance testing??
It’s great to know your privacy has now been breeched on an international level.

good grief fedgov is stupider than dirt.
THis is what you’d expect when the “Chief Technology Officer of the United States” has a degree in public policy and experience confined to politics.
I was not going to comment on what was wrong with the system (and this article only touches the surface of the list of problems), nor will I comment on sensible fixes. I’ll just celebrate for as long as this system crashes and burns.
Looks like everyone will have to start filling out paper forms! How advanced. I wouldn’t put my personal information in this piece of crap system for nothing. If it’s this bad just to log in, I am certain the security is non-existent or hackable by a pre-teen. Amazing that Obama is buds with Mark Zuckerman but couldn’t get any advice....and the Obama campaign sites somehow run flawlessly.
Not just a Canadian firm. It’s French Canadian.
CGI is “Conseillers en Gestion et Informatique.”
Probably the only employees who speak English are the sales staff.
