Sony's costly data hack has put the spotlight on cyber-security, even causing President Obama to warn Americans to tighten up their privacy protections. But an investigation by the Associated Press has highlighted new concerns over the security of one of the government's own websites, HealthCare.gov.

AP investigative reporters found that certain personal details of visitors to the federal health insurance website — including age, income and smoking habits — are being passed along, likely without consumers' knowledge, to third party sites.

Obama administration officials insist that the data collected is needed to improve the consumer experience and that outside firms are prohibited from using the data to further their own business interests. However, the findings have raised privacy concerns.
