A desktop containing personal information of more than 36,000 former US soldiers has just disappeared from the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) office in Unisys, Virginia state office. The new case was announced yesterday (August 9).

The PC above contains the name, address, social security card number, date of birth, insurance, health information, billing, and military service time for Veterans Ministry patients.

VA immediately sent a team of experts to Unisys to support the search for computers and at the same time assess the impact of lost information.

This is the second time, the VA data-containing computer is stolen. The first was the laptop and the hard drive containing personal data of more than 26.5 million US veterans and their wives and children who were stolen last May at the home of an analyst from VA.

The two computers containing VA's personal information were stolen by the alarm system about the security at this agency, causing VA to hear in the National Assembly.
