Covered California’s E-mail Insecurity | National Review Online
Covered California jeopardized the personal-identification information of
at least 378 Obamacare enrollees, according to records reviewed by National
Review Online. In most of these instances, navigators sent consumers’
confidential data to Covered California representatives using an “email
[that] was not encrypted or otherwise secure,” violation notices stated — a
direct violation of the health exchange’s policy.

Dana Howard, a spokesman for the health exchange, says “there is no
indication [that consumers’ personal-identification information] was
compromised,” adding that these violations constitute “a very minimal
risk.” But cyber-security experts contacted by NRO expressed significant
concerns.

 At least seven times, navigators sent Social Security numbers insecurely.
Furthermore, though the personal data sent through unencrypted e-mail
varied by incident, information sent insecurely included driver’s-license
numbers, immigration-document numbers, household income, employment
information, health conditions, home addresses and phone numbers, birth
dates, eye and hair color, and weight, to name a few examples.Michael Gregg,
