In this report, in the defense of the veterans administration it is stated that “officials had hoped to catch the culprits and did not want to tip them off” and thus the reason for the 19 days before reporting. This report states 26 million plus veterans and their spouses information (from 1975 to 2006) may have been breached, (others report 26 .5 million). In our business links, Privacy Rights Clearinghouse (one group who tracks data breaches) lists the number for this event as “28.6 million”. While the FBI states “no data had been stolen from the computer”. While we were previewing what reports to add to this web site, we came across another report in which it is reported, that about a month after this breach, the buying and selling activity on the underground web site in report 2, was up 158%. Also look at the breach dated April 28, 2006 (PRC), personally we ask was this really a random theft? What else is is the veterans administration not telling the men and women who defend our freedom? At first the veterans administration gave the vets free credit monitoring, later the FBI determined there was no access to the data. The veterans administration canceled the credit monitoring and offered data breach analysis.
