Re: Gov't Security at its Worst: Personal Info of 26.5 Million US Veterans Stole
Quote:Tim McClain, the VA's general counsel, told the committee that the Social Security authorization is standard for an employee doing data analysis work, and that the laptop authorization was for a computer different from the one that was stolen. Sounds like everyone involved is trying to cover their a$$es. |

Glad the computer was found. Hope they are right and the data was not accessed.

I was notified by the VA via a letter that my info was / or maybe one on the list too. : [/quote] Hubby received notice also. THAT must have cost a pretty penny to send out notices to all. I ran a credit check. Nothing unusual showed up. I do this a few times a year. We are all at risk, to some extent, of having our info stolen or used. I found my mortgage info online, without signing into my account or anything like that. Anyone can see my actual signature, my ssn, and any other info. |

I wish someone would steal my identify. They can have all the bills that come with my identify too.
Just kidding. ID theft is a terrible thing to happen to anyone.
