◼ Congresswoman: Require Feds to Disclose Security Breaches on Healthcare.gov - Washington Free Beacon
A bill in the House of Representatives would require the federal government to tell Americans if their personal information has been stolen while using Healthcare.gov.
Rep. Diane Black (R., Tenn.) introduced the “Federal Exchange Data Breach Notification Act of 2013” on Thursday to address privacy concerns regarding the Obamacare insurance website, which has been live for months despite its lack of fundamental security safeguards.
“IT experts have repeatedly raised red flags about the security of the information people are putting into the exchanges, and it is only fair that the administration gives people proper notice if this information has been compromised,” she said. “Americans deserve this basic notice so that they can protect themselves from cyber attacks and identity theft.”
