Millions of veterans are breathing easier today.
The government has recovered a stolen laptop computer and hard drive with sensitive data on up to 26.5 million veterans and military personnel.
The FBI said Thursday there is no evidence that anyone accessed Social Security numbers and other data on the equipment.
So, hows the City of Houston coming along in protecting citizen (and employee) personal data? Better than the VA, I hope.
Newly discovered documents show that the VA analyst blamed for losing the laptop had received permission to work from home with data that included millions of Social Security numbers and other personal information on veterans and military personnel.
What do you want to bet they came to light because that employee is trying to get his job back?
No bet, I know that to be a fact. they tried to can him but he fought back and these revelations came out. I hear that the head of the VA’s IT Security department however has been canned.
