From the Daily Press:
DENVER — It’s not just privacy advocates who want sensitive information pulled from county clerks’ Web sites. Monday, Colorado Attorney General John Suthers stepped in to also urge the removal of documents containing Social Security numbers of state residents.
Additionally, the Colorado Secretary of State’s office has taken 100,000 documents offline as a precaution.
“The availability of this information online increases the possibility of Colorado citizens becoming victims of identity theft and we are hearing from more and more citizens concerned about their financial security,” Suthers said in a letter sent to county officials.
