Marilyn Tavenner testified before Congress today saying there were 7.3 million customers signed up for Obamacare. Considering that she is the one who overrode their Security Team at CMS and put the website on-line without identifying or correcting the security vulnerabilities, it is a strange thing for her to admit now that she put that many people at risk by exposing their personal data to hackers. Last week, GAO released its latest report on the security of the system, saying it was far from good enough for government work. It wasn't ready when deployed and the security wasn't good enough.
A Washington Times story
[ http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/sep/17/wh-took-big-security-risks-obamacare-website-gao/] characterizes it as taking unnecessary risks with the data of states and the Federal government health care systens.
This has already died down enough that she can show her face before a Congressional Committee without having the have a team behind her and lawyers in front of her.
