VA data breach exposes information of 46,000 veterans
UPI
Sept. 14 (UPI) -- A data breach involving personal information of about 46,000 veterans was announced on Monday by the Department of Veterans Affairs.
The Federal Services Center, the VA's finance department, discovered that financial information "was accessed by unauthorized users to divert payments to community health care providers for the medical treatment of veterans," a VA statement on Monday said in part.
It added that a "comprehensive security review" is underway, but did not specify when the breach was discovered, which computer application was affected or which veterans' Social Security numbers were involved in the breach.
