… And here’s how it’ll get done
Earlier, I ranted about the need for organizations to pay steep financial costs for insecure operations.
Veterans are filing a class-action lawsuit against the Department of Veterans Affairs.

This is a good first step, but this case, you and I pay the bill. I’d like to see the courts or DVA offload this burden onto the contractor who was negligent.
Note: This story starts by describing that the situation with the stolen Veteran information was even worse than originally revealed:
On the same day that a coalition of veteran’s groups filed a class-action lawsuit against the Department of Veterans Affairs over the theft of some 26.5 million identities, the federal agency admitted that the breach affected not only past members of the military, but also nearly 80 percent of the active-duty force.
