PERSONAL DETAILS OF 26.5 MILLION US ARMY VETS "GO MISSING" ON SINGLE DISK

Bureaucratic bungling and digital armageddon took a step closer to meeting each other today as 10% of the US population had its personal details "lost" by the Veteran Affairs department and could now be victims of financial fraud.
26.5 million US veterans and their families have been sent letters telling them to watch out for financial irregularities in their bank accounts after information went missing. The VA Department is allegedly responsible for the welfare of veterans and their relatives - but let one of its employees take home records containing the names, addresses, and social security numbers of 26.5 million people even though he was not authorized to do so.
The house of the employee was then the subject of a burglary, and all details were stolen, including disability ratings.
What an almighty fuck-up.
