According to Natural News, Red State found out,
via Alex Hern on Twitter, that the Obamacare website has attempted website
attacks in its search box, automatically activating when one types or mistypes
the right letters or punctuation. This tells us a few things: there is a lack
of polish in the Healthcare.gov website, there are many people who want
to break into the website and there isn’t much confidence in the security of
the website. All of these things should be troubling to people with data in
that system.
As per Red State, sites that store information in
databases need to take input from the user (such as a URL, or a search box) and
put that into a request to the database. The text from the public has to go
into the SQL. That’s a problem, because malicious users who understand SQL
could put SQL into their searches, running whatever commands they want on the
database.

The message contained in a column that U.S. Rep. Lamar Alexander
wrote for Breitbart News is appropriate. While it doesn't carry major
international implications, Alexander's appeal for Obama to ditch the
glitch-prone failure that characterizes the Obamacare exchange is the domestic
equivalent of asking him to restore Americans' freedom:
Many Americans have experienced the ill effects of
Obamacare. That's because the President's broken promises are piling up. He
promised that if you like your health care plan you can keep it. But for
millions of Americans, that's not true.
He said that the law would make health insurance more
affordable. But across the country, Americans are seeing their premiums go up,
not down. And when launching Healthcare.gov, the Obama administration said that
the website was safe, secure and open for business. We now know that isn't
true, either.
Alexander and others have pointed out that users of Healthcare.gov
must provide a trove of personal data. In fact, the site is "one of
the largest collections of personal information ever assembled," Alexander
writes. Furthermore, the site links information between seven federal agencies
and state agencies, as well a host of government contractors.
The site asks for users to provide personal info like birth
dates, Social Security numbers and household incomes "in order to obtain
information about potential health coverage," writes Alexander.

US and British intelligence officials say they are concerned
about a “doomsday” collection of highly classified, heavily encrypted materials
they believe former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden may have
stored away. The cache supposedly contains documents with names of US and
allied intelligence personnel, seven current and former US officials and other
sources told Reuters.
The collection is shielded by elaborate encryption that
requires multiple passwords to open, said two of the sources, who all spoke to Reuters
anonymously. At least three people – unknown to the sources – possess the
passwords, which are only valid for a short period each day, they said.
Officials believe the cache would likely be stored and
encrypted apart from the rest of the material that Snowden gave to news
outlets. The NSA and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence
declined to comment on the collection.
