Amid numerous reports of ObamaCare exchange difficulties, Internet cloud security company Trend Micro has reported that they have already seen spam targeted to words such as “Medicare,” “enrollment,” and “medical insurance.” The company reports that some of the spam variants appear “professional enough to fool some users into opening the email and clicking the links in these messages.”
According to SecurityWatch magazine, Trend Micro’s threat communications manager Christopher Budd said “deep problems with the Marketplace websites could make things much worse.”
Budd wrote last week that due to the way the online registration for ObamaCare will work, and to the type of information people must enter online to obtain health insurance coverage, “there’s a real risk of a perfect storm that can make this process a bonanza for identity thieves and cybercriminals:”
The root problem is that the Health Insurance Exchange isn’t made up of a single, authoritative site where people can go and register for coverage. In addition to the Federal site, people can apply for coverage at sites run by individual states. Then, within each state, there can also be legitimate third-party sites that provide assistance and even broker coverage.Read the rest HERE.

And who said Obamacare isn't a job creator? (for CRIMINAL ENTREPRENEURS)
I guess that's what he means when he says he wants to 'grow the economy'.

If you ask me, they are lying about their Healthcare.gov site problems, just like they lied about Benghazi. Numerous articles today suggest that the problem is not too much traffic, but structural--which cannot be easily fixed.
Hopefully it gets worse and worse as momentum builds against the AFA, as people see how high their new insurance bills are really going to be.
