ACS Slow to Notify on ID Theft Risk
Felix Doligosa Jr. writes in The Rocky Mountain News:
A company waited for a week to warn the public about the risk of identity theft after its computer containing names and Social Security numbers of as many as 1.4 million people was stolen, according to state documents.More here.
Sometime during the weekend of Oct. 13, a computer was stolen from the 27th floor of the Affiliated Computer Services Inc. office in the 1900 block of Broadway. ACS is a Dallas- based company that processes child-support payments for the Colorado Department of Human Services.
The company reported the stolen computer to police on the evening of Oct. 16, according to a police report. The computer contains names and personal information on about 1.4 million child-support recipients, payers and new hires within the state.
