Report ID: SPE000000072254, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
Reported Entity: VISN 11 Fort Wayne, IN
Issue:
An Authorization for AIS Access form was sent to a network printer in the Logistics office. It contained an employee's first and last name and her full social security number. Update: 02/28/12:The employee will be sent a letter offering credit protection services due to full SSN being exposed.
Outcome:
There is no way to figure out who sent the AIS form to the specific printer. OI&T has enabled auditing on the specific printer in case it would occur again. We will then be able to tell who sent the information.
