Security expert David Kennedy was interviewed again this morning on the HealthCare.gov site's lack of security.

David describes how there are 400+ known bugs, many ways for the site to be hacked not only by well-funded sophisticated hackers, but even run of the mill hackers. All the information going into the system which includes social security numbers but now also credit card numbers that are used to pay for this service can be captured by the hackers. David explains that it appears to him that security was never a thought as they built the site. He also explains that the security will NEVER be developed properly while the site is still running. Essentially, he says that unless the site is shut down and rebuilt, it will NEVER have the necessary security to protect private data.

 

By the way, in his first interview Nov. 25^th which I have attached below, he said unlike all private sites such as Amazon, Amex, Walmart, etc, the government does NOT have to inform clients if there was been a security breach and capture of private information. How nice!
