COLORADO SPRINGS — Colorado consumers continue to be impacted by data breaches that compromise sensitive information being held by both private and public entities in the state. News5 is following up with Colorado’s attorney general about the impact of these cyber attacks and why it’s such a problem.
”Sadly all of our information is out there often in the hands of companies that don’t protect it. What happens is it gets in the hands of these scam artists who will use it against us,” said Weiser. While people impacted by the recent Colorado Department of Higher Education data breach are still waiting to see if there will be any changesin policy or law in how the state manages our data, a new law did go into effect this year that raises the state’s expectations on how private companies manage our data.
Weiser says all of us should be keeping an eye on our credit for signs of identity theft that often follow data breaches.
