Unisys Offers $50K Reward for Missing VA Computer

Linda Rosencrance writes on ComputerWorld (via NetworkWorld):

Unisys, working with the Office of the Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and the FBI, is offering a reward of up to $50,000 for information leading to the recovery of a missing desktop computer that belongs to the VA.

The computer, which contains personal information on 38,000 veterans treated at VA medical facilities in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, went missing from the Reston, Va., office of Unisys, the subcontractor hired to assist in insurance collection for those facilities. Unisys publicly acknowledged the computer's disappearance last week.

Unisys is now working with the VA's Office of the Inspector General and FBI officials to try to determine what happened to the computer.
