Possible information breach within Maryland VA

Posted on September 17, 2014 by Dissent

Whig reports:

As many as 165 employees of the Veterans Affairs Maryland Health Care System received a letter from the VA informing them of a potential breach of privacy.

This includes an unknown number of Perry Point employees.

On Aug. 28, the personal vehicle of a VA Maryland Health Care employee was broken into and a briefcase was stolen. The attache contained not only “personally identifiable information” of the existing employees, but also applicant information for four vacancies within the agency.
