"U.S. intelligence agencies last week urged the Obama administration to
check its new healthcare network for malicious software after learning that
developers linked to the Belarus government helped produce the website,
raising fresh concerns that private data posted by millions of Americans
will be compromised."
"The intelligence agencies notified the Department of Health and Human
Services, the agency in charge of the Healthcare.gov network, about their
concerns last week. Specifically, officials warned that programmers in
Belarus, a former Soviet republic closely allied with Russia, were suspected
of inserting malicious code that could be used for cyber attacks, according
to U.S. officials familiar with the concerns."
Oh boy, this is reassuring news.
