This commonsense reform would simply require the federal government to notify individuals if their personal information has been compromised on the federal Obamacare exchange. “Whether through Navigators with no background checks, or inadequate security testing on their website, the Obama Administration has thrown Americans’ data security out the window when it comes to Obamacare,” said Congressman Black. “IT experts have repeatedly raised red flags about the security of the information people are putting into the exchanges, and it is only fair that the Administration gives people proper notice if this information has been compromised. Americans deserve this basic notice so that they can protect themselves from cyber attacks and identity theft. Most state run exchanges are subject to laws that guarantee this notice, and the federal government imposes these same rules on the private sector, yet they have gone out of their way to avoid imposing this basic diligence on their own Obamacare exchange. This is clearly wrong, and why I have introduced the Federal Exchange Data Breach Notification Act of 2013 – legislation that requires that the Federal Trade Commission to notify individuals whose personal information has been jeopardized by a security breach.” According to a report from Watchdog.org, the Department of Health and Human Services ignored requests from experts to include data breach notification policies when developing the federal exchange. As they report, under current law, “hacks that happen behind the scenes —potentially stealing everything from Social Security numbers to Department of Homeland Security watch lists — never have to be reported.” Additional Resources: Black Statement on Sebelius’ “Navigator” Comment Black, Meehan Seek Answers on IRS Security Testing ### Congressman Diane Black represents Tennessee’s 6th Congressional District.
