I no longer get done posting my last article and look at what pops up:

A hacker breached the Agriculture Department’s computer system and may have taken personal information on 26,000 employees, retirees and contractors, the department said, making it the latest federal agency to have had personal data compromised.

The potential loss is less dramatic than the one that occurred last month with the theft of a laptop computer and hard drive containing personal information on up to 26.5 million veterans and military personnel from the home of a Department of Veterans Affairs employee.

It is interesting that this one was actually done by hackers. I can’t believe it was not a “stolen” computer. Perhaps they had to change the story or people might start asking questions.
