Another Military Data Breach: only limited health information, mainly social security numbers and other personal information. Seems the problem was data stored in unsecured format; but the bigger problem seems to be the fact that the data was transmitted over the internet unencrypted. Except for the fact that it's a large size of possible victims, I'm betting there won't be any actual occurrences of ID theft out of this. But it's another indicator that folks need to be pretty careful.
