Hackers successfully breached HealthCare.gov

Note this paragraph: "The initial intrusion took place July 8, but it was not detected until Monday of last week during a manual scan of system logs. HHS said the component that was breached did not have a firewall, or intrusion detection software, installed on it. Technicians manually scanning logs discovered the breach Aug. 25 and took action."   ::) ::) :o :o

What the?! Are you kidding me? And it took over a month to do a manual scan that detected it? How many millions have been paid to various tech consultant companies by this point, and this is still going on? Unbelievable.
