<DIV>CollegeInvest sent letters this week to customers who had personal
information stored on a computer hard drive that disappeared during a
move.<BR><BR>CollegeInvest is the higher education financing resource
organization operated by the Colorado Department of Higher
Education.<BR><BR>Officials of CollegeInvest say there is little risk of
customers' personal information falling into the wrong hands because the data is
password protected, and in a format that would be difficult to
access.<BR><BR>The hard drive contained information from some, but not all
CollegeInvest customers. <BR><BR>The letters are going to all affected customers
with information about what data is on the missing hard drive, and information
about tools they can use to monitor their credit for unauthorized
activity.<BR><BR>A press release says that CollegeInvest moved to a new office
recently. The organization hired a relocation firm that offered specialists in
moving computer equipment. Collegeinvest found the hard drive was missing when
employees unpacked at the new locations.<BR></DIV>
