Midlands man has personal information compromised on ACA website - WSMV Channel 4


Wonder how many other private citizens have had all of their personal information exposed by the website?
This was predicted...and people laughed about it, right here on City Data.

No one in their right mind would put their SSN and DOB into that website.

Politico had a very good article on why a person should NOT explore healthcare.gov if they have no intent to buy insurance because the Terms Of Use say that any information you enter can and will be stored in government databases and shared with any agency the government deems necessary. Politico further discussed that there is NO way to delete an account or your personal information once entered. Of course, this says nothing of the security of the site, which is obviously lacking. Proceed with caution.....particularly if you are just looking around out of curiosity.

Wondering how many people have already done this? Is there anyway to find out?

At least most conservative old retirees are mature and not some sniffling name calling punks like many on here.
