VA Computer Disk Stolen Containing Personnel Information

An AP newswire article, via USA Today, reports that:

A computer disk with personal information about millions of U.S. veterans was stolen from the home of a senior Veterans Affairs official, congressional sources said Monday.

Veterans Affairs Secretary Jim Nicholson and the agency's deputy secretary planned a noon conference call on the stolen information with more details.

The disk contained Social Security numbers, disability ratings and other personal information.

Update here. Apparently, the number of records is now 26.5 million.
