KOAA in Colorado reports:
The personal information of over 1,000 veterans in Colorado may be at risk after a data leak.
The Veterans Affairs Eastern Colorado Health Care System accidentally sent an email containing personal details about veterans to 75 recipients.
The email, which was sent in January, included a spreadsheet with veterans’ full names, the last four digits of their Social Security numbers, mailing addresses, email addresses, and phone numbers. The VA had intended to attach flyers for an upcoming event, but the spreadsheet was mistakenly included.
When the error was realized, the VA attempted to recall the email but was unsuccessful.
