Via Alex Hern on Twitter, we find that the Obamacare website has attempted website attacks in its search box, automatically prompted for you if you type or mistype the right letters or punctuation.
This tells us a few things: there is a lack of polish in the Healthcare.gov website, there are many people who want to break into the website, and there isn’t much confidence in the security of the website. All of these things should be troubling to people with data in that system.
Update: “There are actual live vulnerabilities on the site now,” David Kennedy, head of computer security consulting firm TrustedSec LLC, told Reuters ahead of his testimony at a Congressional hearing on the topic “Is My Data on HealthCare.gov Secure?”
Bug or feature? When you have an affirmative action narcissist as TOTUS, it’s quite clear that he’ll want to be the smartest man in the room so one can easily determine the quality of staff that will be hired in the WH. Once one understands that basic premise, suddenly all of the “mistakes” made by the Obozo administration make sense. However, there is a very simple fix to this incompetency problem as William Buckley first came up with. Choose a US city at random and then, starting at a random spot in the telephone directory for that city, hire the next 200 consecutive people as WH staff. In the worst case scenario, these individuals can’t underperform the current gang of incompetents surrounding Obozo, and in the best case scenario, especially if the randomly chosen city happens to be in a red state, these randomly chosen people will likely greatly outperform the most incompetent group of individuals ever gathered in one spot.
It wouldn’t at all surprise me if the company chosen to implement the Obozocare website had deliberately inserted the ability for users to execute SQL code on their own in order to facilitate the process of identity theft. Anyone who was familiar with the use of the same company to siphon off close to $2 billion from taxpayers into Lieberal accounts under the pretext of creating a Canadian firearms registry would have told the company where it could go if they even suggested building another software project. However, if the individuals who hired this company had nefarious plans of their own regarding the use of funds infuriatingly belonging to non-deserving people, then the choice of software companies was a no brainer.

I’v been part of company meetings were “direction” was the issue, and lefties never quite get that they do not understand, or that their knowledge base is not deep enough to the issues at hand. So it’s not just the gov’t, it’s utopian thinkers in general, and most of those are lefties.
Eventually, the stolen personal information of millions of Americans who signed up(or attempted to sign up) will be the second shoe to drop about the ObamaCare scandal.
This will be a bigger deal than the balky website features presently preventing signup itself.
Lets hope that the ones who get their info stolen are those who work in the MSM!!
I suspect that most early sign ups are and will be fans of the plan and therefore liberal democrats. These people deserve what they get.
The unfortunate thing is people with health problems who are being stripped of their caregivers and medical support. These people deserve better.
I can guaranty you that somebody somewhere has already died because of this.
THAT is MURDER.
Given standard government competency, security is impossible.
Lazy people do not use the security features even when they are built in.
As example after example has shown,government will lose,misplace and abuse any private information they have.
Remember the oxymoron of Census Canada, promises total confidentiality, promises to prosecute you if you supply false information.How can they tell,without violating the promise of confidentiality?
Zip files left on public transport,personal info traded amongst agencies, IRS insisting you missed a doctors appointment….
The Libtards think government is good,individuals know government is force.
A massive unthinking,unreasoning, counterproductive force, by which nimble opportunists seek power and status they could never achieve in the productive world.
Obama is a professional agitator, being a “summa cum laude” graduate of the Saul Alinsky school.
Not to mention his very clever use of the Hegelian dialectic.
Stirs things up and then watches from the sidelines as they unravel, then self-servingly intervenes.
SNAP and Obamaphones (AKA bread and circuits) come to mind.
‘); DROP TABLE Providers ;–
Ah hahaha you beat me to it Mojo.
I guess someone forgot to sanitize their database inputs huh?
I’d hit the website/db interface crew with criminal negligence and claw back the money. But I’m a hard ass about security. 😉

Instead,
“David Kennedy, head of computer security consulting firm TrustedSec LLC and a former U.S. Marine Corps cyber-intelligence analyst, gave lawmakers a 17-page report that highlights the problems with the site and warned that some of them remain live.”
