It just keeps getting worse for Obama and his drones. Per Mike Rogers, House Intelligence Chairman, the Obamacare website is not secure and lacks basic encryption technology. Basically, anyone can hack into the system to get any information you put in. Since the site requires SSN, e-mail account, DOB, address, phone number, financial information and will ultimately contain your IRS and Health records...this is very troubling.
Here is the statement from Mike Rodgers.
Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., chair of the House Intelligence Committee, told CNN’s Candy Crowley on Sunday that he is not convinced the Obamacare website is secure enough, saying it may have to be completely redesigned.
“The way the system is designed, it is not secure,” Rogers said.
Rogers explained that every time an agency goes to another agency with a piece of information — called a “boundary” — the data is vulnerable to being compromised because these boundaries are insecure, the Washington Free Beacon reported.
When Crowley asked if the security problems can be fixed by the end of November, Rogers said he was concerned because the site does “not have an overarching solid cyber security plan to prevent the loss of private information.”
“I’m even more concerned today than I was even last week,” Rogers added. “I know that they’ve called in another private entity to try to help with the security of it. The problem is they may have to redesign the entire system. There is no real encryption of data."
And that is in regard to a system that has cost taxpayers upwards to $1 billion dollars, depending on who you ask.
This is a statement from Cyber-security expert John McAfee
McAfee said the fundamental flaw of the website is in the architecture.
“The system was designed such that you have to download a bunch of really poorly written software, do all the inputs and calculations, and then upload it back to the site,” said McAfee. “Apparently the designers assumed that you could save a few trillion CPU cycles by making everyone do the computations on their home computers, but they completely disregarded how much traffic this would push into the pipeline. Anyone with a basic understanding of CPU cycles versus Internet pipelines knows that if you do that, you’re just creating a gigantic denial of service attack on your own system that will not get better unless you throw it out and start over again.”
McAfee said he doesn’t believe the current administration will attempt to re-architect the system.
“They’ll just push it off to the next administration to do,” he said.
