A computer containing personal information of some clients of the
Colorado Department of Human Services was stolen from a Dallas-based
firm that operates the Family Registry.

The desktop computer, which was stolen during the weekend of Oct. 13,
had data on clients who were involved with child support payments. It
was stored in a secure area monitored by surveillance cameras
accessible only by password, said Dallas-based Affiliated Computer
Services Inc.

Company spokesman Kevin Lightfoot said letters were sent to the clients
about the theft and advised on how to protect their information.
