Another Veterans Affairs Computer With Sensitive Data is Missing

Another Department of Veterans Affairs computer is missing -- this one containing the personal information of as many as 38,000 patients at VA hospitals in Pennsylvania, the department said yesterday. The FBI and the VA inspector general are investigating the disappearance last week of a desktop computer from the Reston office of Unisys Corp., a subcontractor that assists in insurance collections for VA medical centers in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh
