And the numbers keep growing and growing and growing.

And here we go yet again. Another company, another theft, another computer, another million people having their information exposed: A thief recently stole a computer server belonging to a major U.S. insurance company, and company officials now fear that the personal data of nearly 1 million people could be at risk, insurance industry sources tell […]

Stories like this are just way to common anymore: Thieves took sensitive personal information on 26.5 million U.S. veterans, including Social Security numbers and birth dates, after a Veterans Affairs employee improperly brought the material home, the government said Monday.
