Healthcare.gov ‘may already have been compromised,’ security expert says

Not only is healthcare.gov at risk, it may already have been compromised, a security expert testified before the Senate.
“Hackers are definitely after it,” said David Kennedy, CEO of information security firm TrustedSEC before a House Science, Space, and Technology committee hearing on security concerns surrounding the problematic Healthcare.gov website.
“And if I had to guess, based on what I can see … I would say the website is either hacked already or will be soon.”
Kennedy told FoxNews.com he based this on an analysis revealing a large number of SQL injection attacks against the healthcare.gov website, which are indicative of "a large amount" of hacking attempts.

"Based on the exposures that I identified, and many that I haven’t published due to the criticality of exposures – if a hacker wanted access to the site or sensitive information – they could get it," he told FoxNews.com.
A spokesman for the Department of Health and Human Services, which runs the nation's new healthcare website, did not immediately respond to a request to for more information.

[VIDEO] Obamacare Success Story Now an Embarrassment


White House Press Secretary Jay Carney was pressed during Tuesday’s press briefing over the story of Jessica Sanford, a Washington resident once touted as an Obamacare success story by the President, but who is now unable to affordhealthcare due to a miscalculation of her tax credit eligibility.
When asked by CNN’s Brianna Keilar on whether she could receive a subsidy, Carney said that the problem lied with the state and not the federal exchange, and referred reporters to the Washington Health Benefits Exchange.
Keilar continued to press Carney on Sanford’s predicament and why she had shifted from an Obamacare success story to a prototypical Obamacare embarrassment. When Carney began to list off unrelated benefits of the Affordable Care Act, Keilar noted, “Some people, like Jessica, may just fall through the cracks?”
Carney could only respond that he did not know Sanford’s personal circumstances.
