Hackers successfully breached HealthCare.gov, but no consumer information was taken from the health insurance website that serves more than 5 million Americans, the Obama administration disclosed Thursday.
Instead, the hackers installed malicious software that could have been used to launch an attack on other websites from the federal insurance portal.
Health and Human Services spokesman Aaron Albright said the website component that was breached had been used for testing and did not contain consumer information, such as names, birth dates, Social Security numbers and income details.
My Views/Comments:
if you are going to put up a website for People to use in signing up, making purchases, providing personal information for whatever reason & purpose of the site, every employee of the Company, including the web site creators, Security Team, IT/MIS all the way to the Owner / Founder / CEO / President / Vice President...
...and all additional Executive Staff, should have their personal information, credit card numbers, bank account numbers true and verified right along with its Customers who are trusting that Company/Business/Site Managers, Security Team, IT/MIS, etc. with their personal information.
Just a Thought, as the reality is, that is not going to happen. So why do business with them and see how the Market Shares look for that Company/Organization
