VA Fights Agabtct Veteran Idenfity Theft
The Department of Veterans Af-
fairs (VA) has launched a new
campaign to educate Veterans about
identity theft prevention. The new
campaign, titled More Than a Num-
ber, references the personally iden-
tifiable information that VA en-
courages Veterans to protect.
"We recognize that for Veterans,
as for all Americans in the digital
age, identity theft is a growing
concern," said Steph Warren, VA's
Chief Information Officer. "Our
goal is to help educate and protect
those who have protected this great
country."
VA's Office of Information and
Technology recently announced
the launch of a new website con-
taining identity theft resources for
Veterans and their beneficiaries.
The website can be found at
www.va.gov/identitytheft and fea-
tures educational information, in-
teractive multimedia and links to
other online identity theft prevention
resources. The campaign also in-
cludes a toll-free help line offering
support for Veterans, their benefi-
ciaries and VA employees who
have questions-and concerns about
identity theft. The toll-free number
is 1-855-578-5492, and it will be
open Monday through Friday from
8 a.m. - 8 p.m., EST.
In defending against identity theft,
VA understands that awareness is
critical. With More Than a Number,
VA aims to educate Veterans on the
risk of identity theft and how to
avoid becoming a victim.
"Small changes can have big
consequences," Warren added. "Lit-
tle things like shredding banking
statements before throwing them
away or using strong and unique
passwords for all of your accounts
can make a significant difference in
protecting your identity from thieves
who may try to use your personal in-
formation."
VA takes seriously its obligation
to properly safeguard any person-
al information within its possession
and has in place a strong multi-lay-
ered defense to combat evolving cy-
ber security threats. VA is commit-
ted to protecting Veteran informa-
tion, continuing its efforts to
strengthen information security and
putting in place the technology and
processes to ensure that Veteran data
at VA is secure.
In the event of a loss of VA data,
VA has safeguards in place to pro-
tect against identity fraud. Acting out
of an abundance of caution, VA's
standard practice is to provide free
credit protection service enroll-
ment, monitoring services and re-
ports, fraudulent charge alerts, and
fiaud resolution and identity theft in-
urance to individuals affected by a
VA data breach with a reasonable
risk for the potential misuse of any
sensitive personal information.
For additional information on
identity theft, visit
www.va.gov/identitytheft or contact
the VA Identity Safety Service at
vaidtheft@va.gov.
The Walsh County Veterans Serv-
ice Office remains committed to as-
sisting veterans with accessing their
benefits. If you have any questions
feel free to call our office at 701-
352-5030 or stop by for a visit at 638

INTERN, ALSH COUNTY PRESS
Year two at the Press
This year has definitely been a learning experience at the Press. Look-
ing back on last year, I feel like that was just the tutorial for this year.
This year I feel like I've done a lot of expanding on experiences I leamed
last year and learning some new experiences as well.
At the end of last year, I got the opportunity to write an article. This
year, I have been writing articles fairly steadily. Because of this, I have
become much more familiar with what should go in every article. The
who, what, when, where, and why, putting in as many details about
something that you can, and making sure that you tie a story to the area.
Another thing that should be mentioned is the fact that said is not dead;
said is the sole dictator who executes any competitors who dare intrude
into its empire.
I also became more advanced in managing people. When I first had
to answer phones, I had basically no idea what I was doing. Now I have
become less of a pushover who is willing to pass the phone on to some-
one else as fast as I can. Also, by answering phones, I now know a bit
more about some of the problems that some of our subscribers go
through and how to fix them.
Of course I do realize that I am not the perfect employee, I'm only
sixteen, but I do know quite a bit more about working in an office and
newspapers than I did before.
