A Wisconsin VA regional office left veterans personal and health information vulnerable to identity theft, fraud and other compromises. The Milwaukee, Wisconsin, VA Office of Inspector General says it conducted a review of the Milwaukee regional office in response to a September 2018 hotline allegation.

Experts say security lapses discovered at the VA are also common at private sector healthcare entities.”]
