VT: Local VA warns of possible data breach

The Department of Veteran's Affairs disclosed that unencrypted communications containing personal health information of veterans were sent unintentionally from the White River Junction, Vermont healthcare facility. The breach exposed personal information of some veterans receiving services through that facility.

Why it matters: Veterans whose data was exposed face identity theft and fraud risk; VA facilities and healthcare providers must review communication protocols and encryption practices to prevent further unintentional disclosures.
