CNN reports that the VA waited 19 days before alerting veterans their personal information may have been stolen.A laptop with the names, birthdates, and Social Security numbers of more than 26-million veterans dating back to before 1975 was stolen from a VA employee's home.
The VA tried to catch the thief first, but gave up after nearly three weeks of trying -- and alerted the public to the potential of identity theft.
Hey, they may be slow alerting the people they're supposed to serve -- but they sure get cracking on getting the Secretary's picture on the wall! (CNN)
