The federal government, to the frustration of many, including brokers and advisers, reset passwords for all Healthcare.gov users in response to any threat posed by Heartbleed, an internet security bug that leaves personal information on some websites vulnerable to hackers.
While theres no indication Heartbleed has posed any specific threat to Healthcare.gov, all consumer passwords have been reset out of an abundance of caution, according to a Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services memo the agency says was sent to consumers Thursday.
