Veterans' Identity Data Stolen
by TChris
Electronic information identifying every veteran discharged since 1975 has been stolen. If you're in that group, you should be aware of what was taken.
The data included names, Social Security numbers and dates of birth for the military veterans and some spouses, the department said, although there had as yet been no indication it had been used for identity theft.
The data was stolen from the residence of a Department of Veterans Affairs employee who violated a Department policy by bringing the information home.
