Quote:As a test, CBS gave one technology expert the real healthcare.gov username of a CBS employee, and within seconds, he identified the specific security question she used to reset her password.
Minor point of order. Given cursory information about someone, guessing the answer to their security question is quite simple.
Quite frankly, on the IT side of things. It's exactly what could be expected of a system so hideously complex, built from the ground up with minimal testing, by a combination of dozens of low bidders and donation-friends of various politicians. Half of the hideous mess is a result of the complexities of the law, various subsidies, credits, rebates, fingerings and felony concerns.... and doing it nationwide.

Quote:As you look down the list put together by the Sunlight Foundation, it's all companies like this: giant monstrosities which are simply tied in closely with the government. All the large consulting firms are listed: Accenture, Deloitte, PricewaterhouseCoopers, McKinsey. What's missing? Basically any company with even the slightest smidgen of experience building and maintaining large-scale, public-facing web-based apps. The list has no "internet native" companies.________________________________
