The Milwaukee, Wisconsin, VA regional office left veterans personal and health information vulnerable to identity theft, fraud and other compromises, a new watchdog agency report says. Security experts say the network security lapses discovered at the VA are also common at private sector healthcare entities as well as organizations across other industries. The VA says it “appreciates OIG’s oversight, which in this case uncovered no evidence that any veterans information was accessed inappropriately” The agency says it has since taken a number of actions to strengthen safeguards.”]
