- � HealthCare.gov Hacked Again! �
- A computer server hosting information for Healthcare.gov, the flagship
- Obamacare website that millions of Americans have trusted with their social
- security numbers, income totals and other sensitive personal information,
- was the subject of a hacker attack earlier this summer, officials said Thursday.
- The federal government wasn�t aware it had been hacked on July 8 until
- just ten days ago.
- The powerful House Oversight and Government Reform Committee announced
- Thursday afternoon that it has ordered Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
- Services (CMS) chief Marilyn Tavenner to testify in a September 18 hearing
- about the Obamacare website�s security lapses.
- Likely nothing is going to happen and Americans will still be getting hacked.
- The only solution would be a national boycott.

- � Hospital Hacked! Community Health Systems Says Personal Data
- Stolen in Cyber Attack, UPDATE: 4.5 Million Records Stolen �
- US hospital operator Community Health Systems Inc said on Monday
- personal data, including patient names and addresses, of about 4.5
- million people were stolen by hackers from its computer network,
- likely in April and June.
- The company said the data, considered protected under the Health
- Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, included patient names,
- addresses, birth dates, telephone numbers and Social Security numbers.
- It did not include patient credit card or medical information (bull),
- Community Health Systems said in a regulatory filing.
- It said the security breach had affected about 4.5 million people who
- were referred for or received services from doctors affiliated with
- the hospital group in the last five years.
- The FBI warned healthcare providers in April that their cybersecurity
- systems were lax compared to other sectors, making them vulnerable to
- hackers looking for details that could be used to access bank accounts
- or obtain prescriptions, Reuters previously reported.
- The company said it and its security contractor, FireEye Inc unit
- Mandiant, believed the attackers originated from China. They did not
- provide further information about why they believed this was the case.
- They said they used malware and other technology to copy and transfer
- this data and information from its system.
- Community Health, which is one of the largest hospital operators in the
- country with 206 hospitals in 29 states, said it was working with federal
- law enforcement authorities in connection with their investigation into
- the attack. It said federal authorities said these attacks are typically
- aimed at gathering intellectual property, such as medical device and
- equipment development data.
- It said that prior to filing the regulatory document, it had eradicated
- the malware from its systems and finalized the implementation of remediation
- efforts. It is notifying patients and regulatory agencies as required by
- law, it said.
- It also said it is insured against such losses and does not at this time
- expect a material adverse effect on financial results.

- � 400 Connecticut Health-Exchange Enrollees� Information
- May Be Compromised �
- The personal information of around 400 health-exchange
- enrollees may be compromised, according to a statement
- issued today by Access Health CT CEO Kevin Counihan.
- The statement notes that a backpack was recovered in
- Hartford that held �four notepads with personal information
- for approximately 400 individuals. The backpack also
- contained Access Health CT paperwork and it appears as
- though some of that personal information may be associated
- with Access Health CT accounts. It is still unclear where
- the backpack came from, and we are working [with] the
- Hartford Police Department to investigate, and contact
- the individuals whose information may be compromised.
- � Let me be clear: we are sorry this happened. This is
- a very serious situation and we will hold the person or
- persons who are responsible to account.�
- Kathleen Tallarita, the government and public affairs
- outreach manager for Access Health CT, told National
- Review Online by phone that the health exchange does
- not know yet whether identity theft has occurred, but
- �we�re diligently looking into what�s happened.�
- The Connecticut health exchange conducts a background
- check on all navigators. While prior arrests or convictions
- do not necessarily disqualify an applicant from becoming a
- navigator, the health exchange has a policy against
- approving anyone who has falsified their criminal-history
- information or has committed a serious felony like fraud
- or larceny.
- According to records obtained by NRO in January, 21
- prospective navigators were flagged after their background
- check. Though most were dropped from the program, one was
- approved despite a class-B felony conviction 19 years
- earlier, and three were approved despite misdemeanors
- within the last decade. None of these four flagged
- navigators had convictions since, according to the
- records.

- �Nonpharmaceutical Intervention� noted,
- �The term countermeasures refers to medical countermeasures
- (MCMs) and nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) that may
- be used to limit the adverse health impacts of incidents.

- of 2009, he included the Health Information Technology and
- Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, which attempts to get
- every doctor and hospital to use electronic health records instead
- of paper records through the use of incentives (read government funding)
- and penalties for non-compliance.
- Senators Alexander, Burr, Coburn, Enzi, Roberts, and Thune produced
- a report about the difficulties involved in implementing the HITECH Act.
- The top five problems they found are: lack of a clear path toward
- interoperability, increased costs, lack of oversight, putting patient
- privacy at risk, and program sustainability.

- � MEDICAL DICTATORSHIP ; Here Comes Obamacare Big Brother Database �
- Would you trust thousands of low-level Federal bureaucrats and
- contractors with one-touch access to your private financial and medical
- information? Under Obamacare you won�t have any choice.
- As the Obamacare train-wreck begins to gather steam, there is increasing
- concern in Congress over something called the Federal Data Services Hub.
- The Data Hub is a comprehensive database of personal information being
- established by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to
- implement the federally facilitated health insurance exchanges. The
- purpose of the Data Hub, according to a June 2013 Government Accountability
- Office (GAO) report, is to provide �electronic, near real-time access
- to federal data� and �access to state and third party data sources needed
- to verify consumer-eligibility information.� In these days of secret domestic
- surveillance by the intelligence community, rogue IRS officials and state
- tax agencies using private information for political purposes, and police
- electronically logging every license plate that passes by, the idea of the
- centralized Data Hub is making lawmakers and citizens nervous.
