Dorn VA: Personal Information May have been compromised

COLUMBIA, SC (WOLO)– Dorn VA officials say the personal information of over two thousand veterans may have been compromised when four boxes of pathology reports were reported missing from a locked area. The missing records are from dates of service in 1999, 2000, and 2002 only. Director Timothy McMurry says quote, ““We are contacting our Veterans who may have been impacted,”, “for we take the loss of personal information very seriously.” According to the VA official, the records contained information including name, Social Security number, and pathology results. Officials say staff have accounted for all other records and there is no indication the missing information has been misused. But Dorn VA officials say the Medical center will offer free credit monitoring to Veterans whose personal information has gone missing.
