| Stolen VA Information Update [message #276788] |

Just saw a report on MSNBC that the VA is now saying that the laptop that
was stolen also contained information on some ACTIVE DUTY military
members...
From the VA's website
http://www1.va.gov/opa/pressrel/pressrelease.cfm?id=1131
"Additionally, private information - the names, Social Security Numbers and
dates of birth - on some active duty U.S. Navy personnel may be involved.
This could potentially include members of the U.S. Navy who remain on active
duty and completed their first enlistment term prior to 1991. Working with
the Department of Defense, VA has determined this group likely consists of
between 25,000 and 30,000 individuals."

When sensitive information gets stolen with a computer it is almost always
VERY sensitive.

And it just keep getting better and better... Now they've announced that
some 2.6 million active duty Gaurd and Reservist information was also on the
stolen laptop.
