Experts’ warnings of Obamacare website’s complete lack of security apparently have been justified. The website gave at least 3 unknown individuals access to a woman’s Social Security number, address, and other data that could be used for identity theft.
Customer service operators at Healthcare.gov’s 1-800 number told Lisa Martinson about the unauthorized access when she called in to change her password. When Martinson asked for her information to be removed from the site she was told it would take 5 days.

Now you gotta show ID to get Obamacare too?!!!
A ton of civil unrest maybe? A Reichstag fire moment maybe? Are people going to stand around and let them steal all their money? This could get interesting.
I hope you're not implying that anyone in the 0bama administration would shade the truth...
Here’s the problem. The 40 whatever percent of people living with some form of gov’t assistance (welfare) are uninterested in what the “rich” folks (those who earn their money by the sweat of their brow) have to pay out. So long as they reap the benefits. We are watching Chicken Little about to get murdered...and no one will have any bread to eat....
"We are Really ... REALLY sorry she got her identity stolen - but, look on the bright side ... she got healthcare at twice the premium AND twice the deductible ..."
No; but you may be able to sue CGI Federal and Verizon Terremark.
0bama et al are so incompetent, they can even screw up a wet dream.
As the president said, “If you like your identity, you can keep it.”
Of course, he didn’t like his identity, so he didn’t keep it.
I feel a crocodile tear coming on....
"Their bank accounts are going to be emptied not just by hackers but by the exchanges themselves because there are no controls,” McAfee said, “there are no security points that can guarantee the security of our data.”
This brings up an issue that occurred to me earlier: While I doubt the Chinese would want to crash the U.S. economy, and probably the same could be said for Russia -- it's not in their best interest at present, the same cannot be said of Iran, North Korea, etc.
1) Could a large scale, sophisticated operation "vacuum out" or otherwise steal enough funds, fast enough, from enough peoples' accounts, to disrupt the U.S. economy? I tend to think "probably not", but others likely have a better informed opinion.
2) Could a large scale attempt per "1" above, even if only partially successful, create enough panic in the US to disrupt its economy? Here I tend to think "quite possibly so". This then might become a matter of immediate economic security, if not national security.
Opinions?
This website was “designed” with the intent to create the largest database of personal information ever assembled. In today's society information is power. We are already seeing from the O’Keefe videos that the lefties know this and are already trying to exploit it in illegal ways.
It is so much like most thefts. We had a large number of 3-phase electric motors valued at approximately $40,000; copper thieves stole them smashed them to pieces and sold the scrap for a couple hundred dollars. The proportion of damage that the Obamacare website potentially could do to citizens and the country is way out of proportion to the value this database has to Obama and the Dems. But like copper thieves they don't care one bit.
Those in possession of the database that is planned to be created could absolutely use it to destroy our entire economic infrastructure. It might just be common criminals, but as you say an adversarial country could absolutely use it to disrupt our entire economic infrastructure. And believe me they thought of it long before the infamous “roll-out”.
Or an "adversarial" ruling class could use it as an additional vehicle to accomplish its oppressive "fundamental transformation" of America. The communist infiltration of the Executive branch is a fait accompli (prime exhibits: axelrod, jarret and BO, who was mentored by Frank Marshall Davis).
It gets worse: I read yesterday an article about how insurance agents and brokers are “on” the healthcare.gov website too. My guess is that they are equally if not in some respects even more vulnerable. Shortly, if not already, insurers themselves and (I would have to think) health care providers will have to be hooked in too. What a web has been woven!
I believe there could be another side to this too:
Let’s say that Iran has successfully hacked the site, and extracted large qty’s of data. Perhaps the consequences could be somewhat mitigated, BUT, Iran has another option that may be more useful to them: They inform the President that they have hacked the site and extracted much data, they provide proof, and threaten to make all the data “public” unless the U.S. agrees to major concessions in the talks over their nuclear program. These concessions go beyond what even the French can stomach. And of course such a revalation would be disastrous for the U.S. President, especially if his name is Obama.
Of course this is just speculation... Oh, wait...
