ACS Employee Questioned Over Database Theft

David Migoya writes in The Denver Post:

Police are questioning an Affiliated Computer Services employee in connection with the theft of a computer that contained state-owned databases with the personal information of about 1.4 million people.

Police have not recovered the computer, a desktop model swiped from the Denver offices of ACS, but an employee of the company is a key suspect in the crime, according to a person familiar with the investigation.

No charges have been filed, and police would not release the employee's name. ACS spokesman Kevin Lightfoot referred all questions about the investigation to authorities.

The computer contained information from the state's Family Support Registry and the New Hire Directory, which ACS has maintained for the Department of Human Services since 1999.
