Description

On Oct. 14, a desktop computer was stolen from a state contractor who processes Colorado child support payments for the Dept. of Human Services. Computer also contained the state's Directory of New Hires. UPDATE (12/07/2006) When initially posted to this list, the number 1.4 million was not added to the total because we could not confirm if SSNs were exposed. The PRC was contacted by an affected individual today who confirmed that names, addresses, SSNs and dates of birth were exposed.
