Would the party who stole a CD with the identities of 2.2 million active military personnel please return it unmolested, please?
The Veterans Affairs data theft story continues to worsen as the days go by. Now the VA is saying that files on at least 2,200,000 active duty soldiers was stolen, not 50,000 as was first reported.
This is in addition to files of 26.5 million soldiers and sailors who have been discharged from the military since 1975 which were also stolen in the same incident.
The VA has really fallen down on the job in protecting their data files. Now all of these names, birthdates, social security numbers and other critical information is in the hands of people who may not know what he or she or they has/have. And they can start leeching off the hard work of others.
The gloves need to be taken off and some severe punishments need to occur and SOON! And some major changes need to happen so that this NEVER happens again!
