Can anybody answer this? Why does a VA employee need 26.5 MILLION VETERANS RECORD @ HOME? I've been fuming about this since I heard about it last night! WHY, WHY, WHY?????

Well, I guess to sell the info. I just don't get people these days. I guess I'll have to start watching my credit now? I already have it flagged because a pack of you know what stormed into a AT&T wireless office with guns drawn in Las Vegas and stole all of their records along with a bunch of pagers and the like right in the middle of the day. Lucky me only store I used down there and they used my credit to open a bunch of new accounts. A Verizon fraud investigator called me to ask a couple of questions and then let me know what happened. Why a Verizon investigator called me is still puzzling but now my service is with them because they seem to be more on the ball. I got a hold of all of the credit reporting agencies and had them flag all my credit info. No ill affects came from the deal but now it's a pain in the butt when I need to use my credit because I have to talk to the people on the phone and answer personal questions that only I know the answers to. I guess it makes me sleep a little better at night but it's still a pain and now this. I was discharged in 1994. Geez, what next.

 

He/She doesn't need it at home. Wasn't suppose to have it there, from what is being said here at work. Shady??

 

Just my luck.

 

Hopefully they find who ever took the records before any damage is done.

 

This is twice in a month for me. The company I work for let some idiot take his computer home with about 36k peoples name, b-day, and SS number in it, and his house got broken into. I'm kinda irritated.

 

Was checking the news online today and found out that the records had actually been stolen around May 3rd and we're just now finding out about it. See story below
