We've been posting on the insecurity of the fabled Exchange site for a very long while; here, for example:
"Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) was using only weak security measures to protect a HealthCare.gov performance dashboard data warehouse"
Turns out, the Federales knew from pretty much Minute Zero that the site was a security sinkhole:
"Judicial Watch today ... records showing that the Obamacare website was launched despite serious concerns by its security testing contractor, Mitre Corporation, as well as internal executive-level apprehension about security."
No kidding?
Which is why I consistently warn folks to stay away from the site as best they can, and to register there only when and if they qualify for - and want to use - a subsidy. Even then, I recommend protection.
UPDATE: Just received in email from Humana:
"Humana will be implementing a new security log-on process to continue to protect your information. We recently completed the first phase of this update process with our captcha roll-out as an additional log-on step, providing even greater protection over your online information."
Private sector vs Public.
What's that word again? Oh, yeah: Accountability.
