WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Thieves may have erased personal data on millions of veterans that was on a laptop they stole, the secretary of veterans affairs said Thursday.
At least, that's the burglars' modus operandi, Secretary James Nicholson said at a hearing before the House Government Reform Committee.
The laptop was stolen in May from the home of a Veterans Affairs employee who, in violation of agency regulations, took it to a private residence.
