From Gunnar Peterson via Kim Cameron:
“Thieves took sensitive personal information on 26.5 million U.S. veterans, including Social Security numbers and birth dates, after a Veterans Affairs employee improperly brought the material home, the government said Monday."
You've got to be kidding me. I'll bet a VA IT guy took the backup tapes home with him because they didn't want to pay Iron Mountain to come get their offsite backup tapes and put them in secure storage. Somewhere an IT Manager is receiving a pink slip today...
