Local VA warns of possible data breach – The Keene Sentinel
Assistant News Editor
The U.S. Department of Veteran’s Affairs says some veterans getting services through the White River Junction, Vt. healthcare system may have had their personal information exposed in an unintentional data breach.
Earlier this summer, several unencrypted communications with personal health information of veterans were sent, a release from the department said Friday.
According to the department, there is no indication that any data has been compromised by the unencrypted messages.
Veterans who have questions or concerns can call 844-838-5433 on weekdays between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
