Mr. President, Tear Down This Website
At this time, using the HealthCare.gov website looks very shaky...
Posting at Breitbart.com, Representative Lamar Smith (R_TX) wants us all to know this:
"One of our witnesses, David Kennedy, is a 'white hat hacker,' who is hired by companies around the world to test the security of their online systems by essentially hacking their websites. During the hearing, Mr. Kennedy gave a demonstration of the healthcare.gov website’s vulnerabilities showing in real-time that hackers can access personal information on the website. It’s clear that not only is the website vulnerable, it’s under attack.
When asked whether he believed the website had already been compromised by hackers, Mr. Kennedy testified that he believed the website has either already been hacked or soon will be.
The massive amount of personal information collected by the Healthcare.gov website creates a tempting target for scam artists. Identity theft jeopardizes credit ratings and personal finances."
