According to a VA spokesperson, the arrest took place yesterday, Sept. 13. Arrested in the case was Khalil Abdullah-Raheem, an employee of a contractor that provides temporary labor to Unisys. Abdullah-Raheem was charged in federal court in Alexandria, Va., yesterday for theft of government property and released on a $50,000 personal recognizance bond. According to the announcement, investigators don't believe that the alleged thief was after the personal information of the 16,000 veterans treated at the VA Medical Centers in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. The FBI is currently conducting a forensic analysis of the computer to see if the veterans information was compromised after it was stolen. _________________________________ HITBSecConf2006 - Malaysia The largest network security event in Asia 32 internationally renowned speakers 7 tracks of hands-on technical training sessions.
