(Christian Science Monitor) Cybersecurity experts are voicing concerns about the ObamaCare website system that could open the door to theft of personal information adding the government site lacks defenses to prevent an attacker from putting an invisible layer over the legitimate website–as a result, a user clicking on a link or button might end up at a renegade site that looks the same.

The ObamaCare site appears not to use a feature that prevents access to cookies that are stored on a users personal computer and basic problems with the ObamaCare site could invite cybercriminals to use automated systems to hack individual accounts according to researchers at TrustedSec in Strongsville, Ohio noted that there were no features to prevent an intruder from using an automated program to try repeatedly to enter the site even if it didn’t get a login try correct.
