Obama Administration Memo -- Security Flaws In HealthCare.Gov are "Limitless"

From cbsnews.com:

[HealthCare.gov's project manager Henry] Chao said he was unaware of a Sept. 3 government memo written by another senior official at CMS. It found two high-risk issues, which are redacted for security reasons. The memo said "the threat and risk potential (to the system) is limitless." The memo shows CMS gave deadlines of mid-2014 and early 2015 to address them.

But Chao testified he'd been told the opposite.

Ace of Spades HQ says it best:

So the guy in charge of the project claims he never saw this red flag memo and that he was told the exact opposite. The Obama administration knew that there were "limitless" security flaws that could lead to identity theft and they couldn't hope to fix them for over a year and they launched anyway.

Just like where I work, it's more important to get it operation by the deadline, but not to get it right or functional.
