DENVER -- There's a good chance your data was stolen in 2018.
In fact, in the last four months since a new state law went into effect, more than 90,000 Coloradans have had their personal data stolen and 33 organizations have reported data breaches, according to the Colorado Attorney General's Office.
"It says that if you don't think your data has been accessed by bad people, you're not paying attention," said Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser.
The updates to Colorado's Consumer Protection Act went into effect on Sept. 1, requires companies to report any data breaches to the state and notify consumers within 30 days if the attacks impacted more than 500 Coloradans.
Weiser, along with 30 attorneys general across the country, have recently signed a letter to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) opposing any repeal or modifications of existing identify theft rules. The letter also asks the feds to put more protections in place for consumers.
