Two months out from its second launch date, Healthcare.gov is still not fully secure and is vulnerable to putting consumers at risk, government officials said Tuesday.

The Government Accountability Office said in a new report that privacy and security weaknesses still exist on the federal exchange website despite some strides made by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services within the last year. The report comes nearly a year after the website’s troubled rollout, and following a recent report that Healthcare.gov was hacked back in July, in which an unknown hacker infiltrated the site.
