A plan to create the world's largest single civilian computer system linking all parts of the National Health Service is to be abandoned by the Government after running up billions of pounds in bills. Ministers are expected to announce next month that they are scrapping a central part of the much-delayed and hugely controversial 10-year National Programme for IT.We have not yet spent a billion so we have a ways to go.....basically the article is like looking into the future of Obummercare, but I didn't see much of this story on this side of the pond. This is published Aug 2011.
Pffft. There is always recourse. God Himself designed that way. Just sometimes its not as easy as we’d like it to be. The founders handed off a great system to us, and despite the damage, much of it is still working. It’s not our job to just give up and go home. There’s no future in that. Our best bet is to keep on fighting with the tools we still have. Don’t ever get tired of doing the right thing.
Not necessarily. IRS would be in a different domain and will be behind it’s own firewall. Depending on the structure that is in place (and I expect there is PRECIOUS LITTLE) and the security on that transfer, I bet not a lot can happen to get into the IRS. From what I understand, the IRS actually DOES have good security IT people.
May you be correct Laz. Have to wonder why, if is a link at the healthcare site, why was put there at the healthcare site. I may go to email later to talk with you. Have been noticing something else along the lines of what is going on. Maybe is nothing and will make a decision later, if I have your permission to go to email with additional thoughts.
Not to worry - at some point when they need money you will be "deemed enrolled" and the Social Security Administration will transfer your info directly to the hackers. :)
Laz, am going to go ahead and mention something here, in the open. Have been noticing certain things regarding some virus protections going off. Don’t know how good security is at the IRS but if they do not have alarm bells when this happens where virus protection and firewalls go off, then we are had.
But they won't be the average 'hooligans'. They'll be tech savvy, they will know what they are looking for, and they'll know how to use it when they get it. Just another phase of The Looting of America, up close and personal...
You always ‘have permission’ to mail me. LOL!
Another point Laz. If the protection does go offline or is taken offline, it is too late, they are in. The reason I say this is ... once in for even a brief second ... the seed is planted and then all is done and the downloads begin even if rebooted, from as best as I understand ... Have any reassurances?
Too late Laz ... LOL ... went public.
Their website design is so incompetent that it probably cannot detect the number and scope of intrusions.
I cannot go into it, because I’d be compromising (by association) the place where I *DO* work, but I promise ya, the security is a LOT deeper than ‘alarm bells’ going off when a virus hits. (smile)
You gotta trust me here. Us guys are good. REAL good.
No way should Healthcare.gov hacking incidents be disclosed.
The Feds have to keep stuff like this secret in the interests of national security.
I trust you Laz. Don’t trust anyone else in government though.
Laz, I said you were in the government. Technically that is correct but, I think I just insulted you because you are not in the present government that is attempting to harm Americans. My apology Laz, my fellow government person against the government people in charge.
and btw ... Merry Christmas Laz! If you are up my way, come to dinner around 5 p.m. Wednesday. Would love to have you here. Will give you directions or look me up on maps.
oh and if you get lost ... I hope you still have my number. If not just email me again for the number.
I am committed to the mission of the group I am affiliated with, and it is one of the VERY few Federal Agencies that actually commands respect and has an honorable mission. It has a 75% positive rating as lately as October of 2013. There is a reason for that: They stick to the SCIENCE and (mostly) avoid the politics. If that changes, I leave.
I wouldn’t work in most of the government. This one is damned honorable. I’ll send you private freepmail on which one it is and why I respect them.
