Coloradans are once again getting letters warning that their personal
information has been stolen.

The company, Affiliated Computer Services, has contracts with the city
of Denver, the state and the federal government.

For a second time this year, Affiliated Computer Services, or ACS, has
failed to protect critical financial information.

"It's every bit of information about me. All of my bank accounts --
everything," said Jeff Nichols. "It makes me feel violated."

In February, 7NEWS Investigators broke the story after millions of
credit card numbers stolen from Denver International Airport.

ACS was the contractor. It did not warn card-holders.
