Personal Data of 26.5M Veterans Stolen

[Papewaio]

If it was spread over the internet someone would have googled it by now.

If it is being held by someone then they won't get much value from it unless they sell it.

If they do then it will come under receiving stolen goods I suppose... and since it would have to cross state lines and use federal infrastructure methinks it would get some sort of wire fraud... I assume a federal offense to traffic in the information.

So it would have to go to a single company that can use the information in such a manner that it cannot be proved... such that it would be used as a verifying tool... which they have cheaper and more reliable methods of doing such.
