U.S. lawmakers said Thursday they have learned of two more data breaches at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, even as the agency announced that law enforcement agencies had recovered stolen computer hardware containing the personal information of millions of U.S. military veterans. The House of Representatives Veterans Affairs Committee has learned of a May 5 incident in which a data tape disappeared from a VA facility in Indianapolis, and a 2005 incident in which a VA laptop was stored in the trunk of a car that was stolen in Minneapolis.
