Obamacare: Hacker's Wet Dream

Obamacare is off to a piss-poor start, but then maybe that's a good thing.

The IT behind Obamacare cost collectively a billion bucks and none of it works.  A poetic testament to just how government trundles.  But hey, don't say you weren't warned.

Eventually another billion will get thrown at the mess and some of it may start to work, at least work well enough to let millions of suckers sign-up.

Fine. But remember the insurance companies still have to complete the transaction and actually issue a policy to the willing idiots. And it looks like that's in trouble too. But we digress.

The guy who wrote and sold the first virus protection programs says Obamacare is a hackers dream-come-true.  And that may be the beauty part.

Obamacare websites have “no safeguards” from would-be cyber-thieves who will “empty your bank account,” says John McAfee.

McAfee said these guys will create fake Obamacare exchange website for “a couple hundred dollars. The site will require you to enter your social security, your date of birth, and an hour later empty your bank account".  McAfee insists, "this is going to happen, it’s going to happen soon. Nothing in the Obamacare system safeguards against this...".

And you know what? He's dead-balls-on right. Wonder if the banks will replenish the accounts with government bailout money? Maybe.
