Update on the VA records travesty...

I can't imagine what the teens that took the computer are thinking right now... You got Feds crawling all over that area, looking for whoever had that computer and data.

Wouldn't you just want to be a fly on the wall for one minute... :laugh:

Paranoia strikes deep,
Into your heart it will creeep....

That'ts what them bags of occilating scum are going through.
 
About time is all I can say but it was gone for almost 2 months so the data can be any and everywhere by now.
 
I’ve got a feeling who ever took it simply wanted it because it was a laptop and didn’t really give a damn about what was on it until it blew up all over the news the next day or so and they probably crapped them selves and tried keeping quiet.
 
It's good news, but hell, a lot can happen in 2 months. Let's just hope nothing did.

VA Drops Credit Offer After FBI Says Data Is Safe

After the FBI issued a final report saying that it doesn't think the
data stolen from the Veterans Administration in May was accessed or
compromised, the VA withdrew an offer to provide veterans with free credit
monitoring services.

I saw that Doc. I already used my free credit report and not to worried about it. Eventhough they should have waited for a total of 4 or 5 months before withdrawing that service. I'm still not worried and for good reason. :D

On the plus side, if the records was compromised and found at a much later date, they will pay hell for withdrawing the free service. :laugh:
 
From the Washington Post:

Three people are in the custody of Montgomery County police in connection with the May theft of computer equipment from the home of a Department of Veterans Affairs analyst in Aspen Hill that contained the names, birth dates and Social Security numbers of millions of current and former service members.
The three -- two Rockville 19-year-olds and a minor who was not identified -- also stole jewelry and cash from the analyst's home, and had no idea they had such sensitive information from the computer and hard drive, Montgomery police said today. The theft was the largest information security breach in government history.
"As far as we can determine, this was a random burglary," Police Chief Thomas Manger said at an afternoon news conference. "They did not know what they had."
Police identified the two adults under arrest as Jesus Alex Pineda, 19, of the 13000 block of Grenoble Drive and Christian Brian Montano, 19, of the 13100 block of Grenoble Drive. Pineda has been charged with first degree burglary and theft over $500. Montano faces those charges, as well as conspiracy to commit burglary and theft.
Both were arrested last night at a McDonald's restaurant, police said. The juvenile, whose arrest in the case is pending, was already jailed on another charge. Police did not release any information about him.
Manger said the case was solved with the help of a tip called in to the FBI, which passed on the information to Montgomery police. The trio are suspects in at least five other burglaries, he said.
The computer equipment was recovered on June 28 when the person who had the laptop contacted U.S. Park Police after seeing news accounts and notices of a $50,000 reward offered by Montgomery County police. Federal authorities said then that the sensitive personal information of 26.5 million veterans and military personnel apparently had not been accessed.
Police have not yet distributed the reward
