(Daily Caller) An employee of Minnesota’s Obamacare exchange, MNsure, sent an
unencrypted file to the wrong person and left 2,400 people’s private information
at the mercy of a nearby insurance agent.
One exchange staffer’s simple mistake gave insurance broker Jim Koester access
to an Excel document of Social Security numbers, names, addresses and other
personal data for whole a list of insurance agents. Luckily for the 2,400,
Koester was cooperative — and unnerved.
"The more I thought about it, the more troubled I was," Koester told the
Minnesota Star Tribune. "What if this had fallen into the wrong hands? It’s
scary. If this is happening now, how can clients of MNsure be confident their
data is safe?"
While MNsure officials called Koester and ensured the data was deleted from the
insurance company’s hard drives, such an easy breach of confidentiality before
the Obamacare exchanges have even gone live heighten the security concerns many
have already raised about the law.
