You are the one trying to make equivalencies and excuses...

no, i'm pointing out double standards and hypocrisy.

if the health care website had suffered a similar breach, you and winter woman and the rest of the right wing world would be proclaiming health care to be over, government to be a failure, there would be 13 threads on it by now, etc. there was even mention of it by winter woman and possibly even threads started about it even though there weren't any breaches!

but since it happened in the private sector, so what? no one cares. it's something that happens.

hypocrites, all of you.

thanks for playing though, kiddo. i knew i could count on you to be several steps behind.

lol its kind of a dumb point to begin with....when Target starts bogarting chunks of citizens paychecks to operate then forcing them to purchase goods withe the remainder maybe the point would be a little sharper.

The website is not Obamacare. I am not surprised that you have not figured it out yet though... I am several steps behind because you just stepped over a cliff... See ya....

I would like to point out that the government and healthcare is a failure long before any healthcare website suffers a breach...no contingency.

rationalize all you want.

you guys were screaming about the website with nary a single data breach...and then went silent when 40 million customers got hacked on the private market.

hypocrisy.

so, just wondering where the thread from the righties is about how this event proves that health care would be better off, more secure, and overall more efficient in the hands of the private sector.

i mean, the right was so quick to say how they wouldn't trust the health care website, that it was just itching to be hacked, all this nonsense about personal data getting lost or stolen...

...yet not a peep when it happens on a massive, massive scale in the private sector.

Thread fail... Even if someone did hack healthcare.gov for data, they get like 20 peoples details. Maybe buck is trying to prove a multinational, paying minimum wage is more popular than obamacare.

Minimum wage is a gateway drug.

you were so critical of the health care website with nary a single breach, but i bet you picked up some christmas gifts at target this year.

well, maybe walmart. that's more your level.

Bucky, We haven't exchanged gifts for years, we no longer partake in that great consumer event. Won't shop Walmart I feel like I'm stabbing the American worker in the back. Target is just a dressed up KMart which is more your style.

Happy New Year.

Target knew about the vulnerabilities almost a decade ago.

It was laziness on their part, and keeping the status quo that got the data compromised. Most current state run databases also have a lot of the same vulnerabilities, both in storage and in upgrade/deployment methods. Private sector (hospitals) at least tried to keep up with modern encryption and data protection best practices.
