Hello, this is the déjà vu police, is anyone home at the VA?

Yep, just when the FBI catches the two teens responsible for

that massive scare over 20+ million VA records being out there ready and

waiting for identity thieves, yet another set of records disappear.
This

time it involves 38,000 veterans’ personel records but it isn’t due to a lost

laptop carelessly left laying around by a VA employee, no, this time it is a

subcontractor, Unisys, which screwed up and, being a large, old computer company, they outdid the VA

employee by loosing not a laptop, but a desktop computer.

My bet is that someone will find it at the local GoodWill, having been mistakenly donated.
