"  Somebody bad is walking around with the personal data of 26.5 million U.S. veterans right now. According to Associated Press, the data include names, birthdates and social security numbers for every American serviceman and woman who has served or been discharged since 1976, as well as some of their spouses. The theft occurred earlier this month, after a Department of Veterans Affairs data analyst took the electronic records home (which he was not authorized to do) and his house was burglarized. Although there is currently no evidence that the burglar has used the data (or even knows what it is), all veterans are advised to pay close attention to their bank, credit card and other financial statements and be on the lookout for suspicious activity. More information can be found here. To learn more about ID theft, read our investigation &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s 10 PM.
