"In the ongoing fallout from the problematic Obamacare website launch, John McAfee gave his perspective on the troubled project as reported in Day On The Day:
'The company used Indian programmers—in India—to code using Java Script. On the user's computer…Just bizarre,' he said.
McAfee also pointed out security flaws in the website, and those flaws are in addition to the scammers who will build fake websites just to get personal information. He said the hacker aspect was only one of the problems in 'an error ridden system.'"
[Ed. Note] Now that individuals will be more or less compelled to sign up, what implications will this have on information security?

maybe when users requested support, they had to launch a remote desktop to allow some developer in india to save a copy of the obamacare home page and insert some js hacks so that when the user opened the file it connected to the site to get to the next problem
maybe obamacare server edition is closed source and the company that licensed it to the federal government told obama that his call is important and they will incorporate his suggestion to make the website work soon... till then they resort to working around the problem... one client at a time :-P
