Obamacare
websites have "no safeguards" to protect Americans who enroll in the
health insurance exchanges from hackers who will "empty your bank
account," according to internet security pioneer John McAfee.
McAfee
said he could create a fake Obamacare exchange website for "a couple
hundred dollars" and expect a big return on the scam.
"I'll
ask you your social security, your date of birth, [so] an hour later I
can empty your bank account," he told Fox News' Gretchen Carlson.
"And this is going to happen, it's going to happen soon. Nothing in the Obamacare system safeguards against this," he said.
The interview was a follow-up to McAfee's conversation with Fox's Neil Cavuto last week.
"There
is no central place where I can go and say, 'OK, here are all the
legitimate brokers and examiners, for all of the states,' and pick and
choose one," McAfee told Cavuto.
"[I]nstead,
any hacker can put a website up, and make it look extremely
competitive, and because of the nature of the system — this is health
care, after all — they can ask you the most intimate questions and
you're freely going to answer them."
