Personal data stolen on 26.5 million vets
Disks with the personal data of 26.5 million U.S. veterans were stolen from the home of a Veterans Affairs employee, the department announced today.
The data included names, dates of birth and social security numbers of all living veterans who have been discharged since 1976.
The employee, a data analyst, did not have authorization to take home the data, which was stolen this month.
