"The data stolen from the employees' home contained the names and birth dates of 26.5 million veterans and some spouses, as well as Social Security numbers for 19.6 million veterans, he told the committee today."

Those 3 identifiers are all that's needed for identity theft. Anyone one of these people are wide open for exploitation. My father, who is a Viet Nam vet is undoubtedly on this list.

The employee has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of a full-scale investigation, Nicholson said.

What a joke, the govt. worker will get a slap on the wrist...if that.

Hell, he'll probably receive a promotion.

HOW could this happen today, and why would a person take this information home, unless they were intending to tamper with it to begin with?I think this investigation will probably focus on the theft and not why this employee took the data home to begin with.
