What is interesting is the budget for this site was $94 million. The most expensive web site ever created. Actually turned out to be $634 million. The most expensive by 21 fold. And it doesn't work. Sure hope they do better with the delivery cost projections.
John Mcafee, the founder of Mcafee security systems says this web site is porous with security holes, and yet you have to put so much sensitive information into it. He also says his company could have built the government and each state site for under a $1000 each and they would be secure. Volume would have caused a significantly more expensive server implementation, but the basic site cost should have been minimal. He says we will see millions of fraud and identity theft cases as a result of this terrible web site design.
And now we will entrust 1/6 of our economy to the government that can't even build (or have built for them) a simple web site and make it secure.
Before you put all of your secure information into this system, go online and freeze all three credit reporting agencies. Might save you future problems if he is even half right.
