ATLANTA (AP) -- The U.S. Veterans Affairs Office of Inspector General has launched a criminal investigation into a security breach of veterans' medical information at the Atlanta Veterans Administration Medical Center.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that a physician assistant stored unauthorized clinical information on her personal laptop regarding veterans who were seen at one of the VA specialty clinics. The newspaper sites an internal document it obtained.
Katie Roberts, the press secretary for the VA, confirmed the investigation.
The newspaper reports the agency has yet to determine how many veterans are affected or the degree to which the data contained personal and medical information.
