There was risk in using the Obamacare Web site as of last week, according to Web site expert, Ben Simons. Simo pointed-out how a person with wrong intentions could get into users' accounts.
Look at what the software tester, Simo, discovered.
Think of any user name that was on the Web site, and the Web site would let you have access to the account. The password would've been reset.
Now, once the person with wrong intentions had a user name plus a reset code, security questions were given.
This leads a person with wrong intentions to, possibly, steal other information. This is a wake-up call to be more careful on the Internet. Although, a risk issue with the Obamacare Web site wasn't an individual's fault.
A person armed with information from the Obamacare Web site could "friend" you on a social networking Web site, for example, to gain other personal information.
The risk found by Simo was fixed, per the Health Department.
