From Belarus With Love?
Hard to believe, even for HHS.
U.S. intelligence officials retracted a warning that developers linked to the Belarus government helped to create Healthcare.gov and inserted malicious software (malware) that could be used later for cyber attacks. Obviously, that possibility would raise new questions about the security of data entered by millions of Americans, but Caitlin Hayden of the White House National Security Council promises, “So far HHS has found no indications that any software was developed in Belarus.” That’s very reassuring, we guess. But cyberwarfare expert David Kennedy warned last month that ObamaCare was “much worse off” after all the fixes, and it almost defies belief that HHS could have paid contractors tied to a hostile regime to build Healthcare.gov complete with malware. Then again, the Belarusian malware might have actually made insurance affordable.
