Again?

Something's wrong with the Department of Veterans Affairs:

Thousands of Pittsburgh area veterans may be at risk of identity theft after a desktop computer containing their personal data was reported missing from the office of a Veterans Affairs Department subcontractor.

VA Secretary James Nicholson said the computer may have contained information for as many as 38,000 veterans treated at VA medical centers in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia during the past four years.

The data on the computer were patients' names, addresses, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, insurance carriers and billing information, dates of military service, and claims reports that may include medical information.

[...]

The disclosure comes after a string of recent data breaches at the VA, including the May 3 theft of 26.5 million veterans' personal data from a VA employee's home in suburban Maryland. The laptop and external drive containing that information have since been recovered, and two teens were arrested Saturday as part of what appeared to be a routine burglary.

Perhaps Mr. Nicholson should be replaced. Instead, Our Glorious Leader™ will probably give him the Medal of Freedom.

Your doin' a heckuva job, Jimmy!
