The Obamacare website lacks the safety and security necessary to have millions of Americans enroll in the health exchange through it, according to Morgan Wright, security expert and CEO of Crowd Sourced Investigations.
Wright, who testified before Congress regarding the safety of the Obamacare website on Tuesday, spoke with CNBC’s Andrew Ross-Sorkin Thursday morning to further explain the safety dangers of the website.
"This is our opinion: it’s not secure, we would not put our family on it, we wouldn’t tell anybody to get on it, not at this time and not in the near future…" Wright told Ross-Sorkin.
He expressed concern that no plan has been established to fix the website security glitches and advised that it would be best to "start all over again."
Asked by Ross-Sorkin if he could do the job and how quickly he would be able to do it, Wright answered "You’ve got a better chance of seeing God because I wouldn’t take the job. From a professional standpoint you’d say ‘No, too much risk involved. It’s not doable…"
The Obamacare website was not only riddled with errors, but it also came with a huge price tag: $600 million. Wright said it would be possible for a team of 25-60 people to create the website for $100 million.
The website is vulnerable to hacking, another area of concern. Wright told Ross-Sorkin that hackers have demonstrated that "it would be very easy at this point to take the site down."
