Matrix Bancorp Inc. disclosed late Friday that it was investigating the 
theft of two personal computers from the bank's downtown branch on Friday, 
July 28, one of which contained personal account information on an 
undisclosed number of customers.

The bank said in a news release that thieves apparently entered offices in 
the company's headquarters tower at 17th and California streets in Denver 
between 1:30 and 2:30 p.m., and removed the laptop computers while 
staffers were away from their desks. One computer contains what the bank 
called "certain proprietary information regarding Matrix Capital Bank and 
some of its customers ... "

The data, the bank said, is fully encrypted and password-protected, and 
there's no evidence that any confidential information has been compromised 
or used illicitly.
