Obamacare website suffers breach, 75,000 people have information compromised

Information from 75,000 people who use the federal government’s Obamacare website was hacked earlier this week, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services reported Friday.

Staff at the agency, known as CMS, said in a statement that they noticed “anomalous activity” in a part of the healthcare.gov site that allows agents and brokers to connect people with health insurance. The agency did not say who was responsible for the hack, but said it had followed protocol by notifying federal law enforcement officials.
