ATTENTION:
ALL VETERANS ARE BEING SENT THE LETTER
The person who has stolen the info, in most likelyhood does not know what he has.
The information contained on the discs would be almost impossible to extract, unless you are an IT genious.
The VA has many programs associated with the disc to allow it to run properly and I am very sure that this individual does not have access to such programs.
As a veteran and a person who worked with the VA, I am not in the least bit worried about this and neither should anyone else be.
I feel that there will be "people" trying to make money off of this former VA employees extreme error in judgement and subsequent loss of property.
Veterans should refer to the letter for information and not be misquided by "individuals" seeking monetary gain or notoriety.

Rep. John Salazar (Colo.) has introduced Veterans Identity Protection Act of 2006 (H.R. 5455). This measure will require the VA to provide one year of free credit monitoring and a free annual credit report for the next two years to veterans who are affected by this security breach. The measure also seeks to authorize $1.25 billion to implement the program for the first year.

Also credit monitoring is free. All you have to do is contact the Credit Agencies and tell them your personal information my be comprimised and you need them to contact you via email or phone when something or someone uses your SSN or DL. It will also show up on your credit report when it is pulled by businesses.

Stolen Information
I have question that maybe someone could enlighten me on, Because all of our (Veterans) personnal information was stolen i.e. SSn, DoB,including names why am I still giving my SSn over the phone for them to recover my personnal information it seems that it would make more since that I stop giving this vital information over the phone due to carelesseness in the past and come up with my own personal pin like our TSP accounts?

J-RO, Never ever give your SSN out over the phone to anyone, all anyone should need is the last 4, dont give out any account #'s to anyone calling and asking. One more thing, "WELCOME TO LEATHERNECK MARINE!" SF

If you want service at the 1 800 827 1000 you have to give them your whole ssn...unless you have a service number.
At the hospital, all they need are your last 4.
Obviously, make these calls from your home land line. Not a cell not a payphone and NOT in public.
