Worse Than First Thought: VA Update on Missing Hard Drive in Birmingham, Ala.
VA and VA’s Office of Inspector General have learned that data files the employee was working with may have included sensitive VA-related information on approximately 535,000 individuals.More here.
The investigation has also determined that information on approximately 1.3 million non-VA physicians — both living and deceased— could have been stored on the missing hard drive. It is believed though, that most of the physician information is readily available to the public. Some of the files, however, may contain sensitive information.
