Veterans Administration Gets Laptop with Personal Information Back

September 29, 2008 By: admin Category: Identity Theft Protection

What was becoming a major crisis is now over, as Veterans Administration gets the Laptop back, which had Personal Information on it of over 26 million veterans. Luckily the stolen laptop was recovered, but may I ask why the government has this information in the first place on portable laptops?

And it is not just the Veterans Administration it is all sorts of other agencies too. Identity Theft is running ramped and the government is to protect the American People, yet if you look at the situation it is the government who is messing up the most.

In fact the Identity Theft laws are to be enforced on businesses by the Federal Trade Commission, but the Federal Trade Commission lost two laptops with over 100 names of individuals with social security numbers, drivers licenses numbers, names and addresses on it, as well as personal financial records.

My Gosh this is the very agency required to help protect the American People from Identity Thieves, but cannot even protect them selves. How utterly pathetic, you have to be kidding me, after all that hoopla and press releases and public relations campaigns and they themselves fail to protect their own team at the Federal Trade Commission?

Folks we need a complete over haul of bureaucratic BS in Washington DC. The problems with Identity Theft are the governments fault, how can we trust them to protect us? Consider this in 2006.
