Look, I've been yapping about this for a while and I think that some might be getting tired of it and that's cool.

For the last time I will stress a couple of things.

The federal data hub is the gold standard, if you think Target was good then you are thinking small tomatoes.

The second thing is the state exchanges whether they work or not, they still have to calculate government subsidies, so how do you do that? You go through the federal data hub so when you hear about state exchanges not working you can aplaude CGI Federal and the and the fact that we are in the best of hands.

If one single person gets in, that person can write a script that will be shared on the Internet and all those folkes will have access ,via kits they download, to those backend databases.

I beat a dead horse, I understand that



Security expert -- and once the world's most-wanted cyber criminal -- Kevin Mitnick submitted a scathing criticism to a House panel Thursday of ObamaCare's Healthcare.gov website, calling the protections built into the site "shameful" and "minimal."

Keep beating on that horse.  Unfortunately, I think it's going to take a Target style/size breach before people really start paying attention. 

Then it'll be the republican's fault for not insisting on tighter security.

Greta interviewed him today.  He said the site it 100% unsecured. 

Not only can hackers get your name, add, ss#, they can also get in the HUB and your IRS tax records.

He said there is no way he would put his info into the ACA website.

Well that's alarming.  Not as newsworthy as a traffic jam on a bridge but certainly scary.  Not like it affects more people than aforementioned traffic jam.  I really hope it doesn't take a massive failure to get attention but really think that's the way it's going.

There is one skill displayed by the Obama administration. That is their uncanny ability, with the help of their stooges in the press, of covering up anything and everything. What other administration could cover up the death of 4 in Benghazi, lie through their teeth, and get away with it? It will be their ultimate challenge to cover up that massive security breach. They'll say "What difference does it make?" That is their mantra.
